हिन्दीCalculate the wavenumber (\( \bar{\nu} \)) of yellow light emitted from a sodium lamp having a wavelength \( (\lambda) \) of \( 580 \text{ nm} \).
Correct answer · Option 1
\( 1.72 \times 10^6 \text{ m}^{-1} \)
Explanation
Wavenumber \( \bar{\nu} = \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{580 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}} = 1.72 \times 10^6 \text{ m}^{-1} \).
