Question

how many hertz are in a yellow light with a frequency of 5.2 x 10^8 mhz? give your answer in proper scientific notation. enter the coefficient in the green box and the exponent in the yellow box. coefficient (green) exponent (yellow)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

$1\ MHz = 10^{6}\ Hz$

Step2: Convert the given frequency

$5.2\times 10^{8}\ MHz=5.2\times 10^{8}\times10^{6}\ Hz$

Step3: Use the exponent - rule $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}$

$5.2\times 10^{8}\times10^{6}=5.2\times10^{8 + 6}=5.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Answer:

Coefficient (green): $5.2$
Exponent (yellow): $14$
