12 A scientist measured the wavelength of an orange light wave as 0.000000615 meters.
A second scientist measured the wavelength of a green light wave as 5.6 x 10-7 meters.
How much longer, in meters, was the orange light wave than the green light wave?

it 5.5⋅10−^8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless I'm missing something important here, you can find the difference between the two wavelengths by subtracting one from the other. Since you're interested in finding how much longer the wavelength associated with the orange light is, subtract the wavelength of the green light from the wavelength of the orange light. You know that the two measured wavelengths are 6.15 ⋅ 10 − 7 m → orange light 5.6 ⋅ 10 − 7 m → green light Therefore, the difference between the two wavelengths will be Δ wavelength = 6.15 ⋅ 10 − 7 m − 5.6 ⋅ 10 − 7 m = 5.5 ⋅ 10 − 8 m
