Waves have three components as follows: <br> c = speed of light (3.00E8 m/s or 3.00E8 m*Hz)<br> f = frequency of light as Hz or 1/s where 1 1/s = 1 Hz<br> λ, lamda (symbol: backwards h, see in example calculations) is wavelength (m or nm) <br> The components are related by the following: Equation: c = f * λ<br> Here is a picture of the two different waves:<br> http://www.fccj.us/Lab/SpectroscopyKSL_files/image002.jpg <br> <b>So you can see from the picture above, that the frequency and the wavelength are inversely (indirectly) proportional to each other (as one goes up other goes down)</b><br> <br> *To see all energy, click ElectromagneticSpectrumPicture <br> *To see how to do Light Equation problems, click [http://www.tmcleod.org/Level1/Chem328ExampleLightEquationwithWork.pdf Light Equation Example showing Work] <br> **If you want a copy of just the question for the example of showing work, click [[Example of Light Equation Problem]]
