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. x 10 hz enter the coefficient in the green box and the exponent in the yellow box. coefficient (green) exponent (yellow)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert MHz to Hz

We know that \(1\ MHz = 10^{6}\ Hz\). So, for a frequency of \(5.2\times10^{8}\ MHz\), we multiply by \(10^{6}\).

$$5.2\times 10^{8}\times10^{6}$$

Using the rule of exponents \(a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m + n}\), we get \(5.2\times10^{8 + 6}=5.2\times10^{14}\)

Answer:

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