Problem

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 6.0×1014 Hz6.0 \times 10^{14}\,\text{Hz}. Using c=3.00×108 m/sc = 3.00 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s}, determine its wavelength in nanometers and identify whether the photon is infrared, visible, or ultraviolet. If it is visible, state the approximate color.
