Wavelength and Frequency E = h c = c = speed of light (3 x 10 8 m/s) = frequency (s -1 ) = wavelength (m) E = energy (Joules or J) h = Planck’s constant (6.6 x10 -34 J/s) = frequency (s -1 ) f f f f “nu” “lambda”

Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency & wavelength are inversely proportional c = c:speed of light (3.00 10 8 m/s) :wavelength (m, nm, etc.) :frequency (Hz) Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
