Energy, Wavelength, Frequency Calculation Notes
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Calculating Wavelength and Frequency C= 3.0 x 108 m/s (speed of light) λ = wavelength (meters) ν = frequency (Hertz or 1/seconds)
Calculating Energy and Frequency Planck came up with the equation E= hν E = Energy (Joules) h = Planck’s Constant 6.626 x 10-34 J*s ν = frequency (Hertz or 1/seconds)
