Answer

$6$

Work Step by Step

The numbers of wavelengths of light $(\lambda=500\;nm)$ contained in a length $n=\frac{L}{\lambda}$ If $\Delta t$ be the laser pulse, then the numbers of wavelengths of light $(\lambda=500\;nm)$ contained in such a pulse $n=\frac{c\Delta t}{\lambda}$ or, $n=\frac{3\times10^{8}\times10\times10^{-15}}{500\times10^{-9}}$ or, $n=6$ Therefore, the numbers of wavelengths of light $(\lambda=500\;nm)$ contained in s the pulse is $6$
