Formula for Energy to Wavelength Conversion
The relationship between a photon's energy (E) and its wavelength (λ) is given by the formula:
λ = hc / E
- λ (lambda) = Wavelength of the photon (in meters)
- h = Planck's Constant (approximately 6.62607015 × 10-34 J·s)
- c = Speed of Light in a vacuum (approximately 2.99792458 × 108 m/s)
- E = Energy of the photon (in Joules)
This formula is fundamental in quantum mechanics, connecting the energy of a light quantum to its wave properties.
