Wavelength, frequency and photon energy calculator کے بارے میں

Light and every other electromagnetic wave travel at c = 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum, so wavelength and frequency fix each other through c = fλ. Each photon carries energy E = hf = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant. Enter any one of the three and the calculator returns the other two, plus the wavenumber, the energy per mole of photons and the band of the spectrum.

Students use it for photon-energy problems, and radio and optics work uses it to move between frequency and wavelength. Green light at 550 nm has a frequency of 5.45 × 10¹⁴ Hz and 2.25 eV per photon; the 2.45 GHz wave in a microwave oven is 12.2 cm long.

Wavelengths are vacuum values: inside glass or water, divide by the refractive index, while the frequency stays the same. Band edges are conventions that differ slightly between sources.

سوالات

How do you convert wavelength to frequency?

Divide the speed of light by the wavelength: f = c/λ, with c = 299,792,458 m/s and λ in metres. For 550 nm green light, f = 299,792,458 ÷ 0.000000550 = 5.45 × 10¹⁴ Hz, or 545 THz. The reverse is λ = c/f: an FM station at 100 MHz has a wavelength of 3.00 m.

How do you calculate the energy of a photon?

Multiply Planck's constant by the frequency, E = hf, or divide hc by the wavelength, E = hc/λ, with h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. In electronvolts, E = 1239.84 ÷ λ in nanometres, so a 700 nm red photon carries 1.77 eV and a 400 nm violet one 3.10 eV. h and the electron charge have been exact in the SI since 2019, and c since 1983.

What wavelength range is visible light?

About 380 to 750 nanometres, from violet to red; this calculator uses those edges for the visible band. Sources put the red end anywhere from 700 to 780 nm because eye sensitivity fades gradually; ISO 21348 uses 380–760 nm. Photon energies across the range run from 3.26 eV at 380 nm down to 1.65 eV at 750 nm.

What is the wavelength of Wi-Fi and microwave ovens?

About 12 cm. Microwave ovens run at 2.45 GHz, a wavelength of 12.24 cm, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is 12.49 cm; 5 GHz Wi-Fi is 6.00 cm. Each 2.45 GHz photon carries 0.0000101 eV, over 200,000 times less than a green-light photon and far below the 13.6 eV needed to ionise a hydrogen atom, so microwaves heat food without ionising it.

What is a wavenumber?

The number of waves per centimetre, 1/λ, quoted in cm⁻¹ in infrared and Raman spectroscopy. From nanometres, the wavenumber is 10,000,000 ÷ λ: 550 nm is 18,182 cm⁻¹. An infrared band at 3,000 cm⁻¹, where C–H bonds stretch, lies at 3.33 µm. Wavenumber is proportional to photon energy, which is why spectroscopists use it as an energy scale.
