About Wavelength to frequency converter

Wavelength and frequency are linked by c = wavelength x frequency, where c is the speed of light, 299,792,458 m/s. Enter either one to get the other, plus photon energy (E = h x f) and the part of the spectrum, such as radio, visible light or X-ray.

How to use Wavelength to frequency converter

  1. Enter either a frequency or a wavelength.
  2. Choose the unit for your value.
  3. Read the other value, the photon energy and the spectrum region.

Frequently asked questions

What wavelength is visible light?

Roughly 380 to 750 nanometres, from violet at the short end to red at the long end.

How are wavelength and frequency related?

They are inversely related: frequency equals the speed of light divided by wavelength. A longer wave has a lower frequency, so radio waves are low and gamma rays are high.

What is photon energy?

Photon energy is the energy of a single particle of light, found by multiplying frequency by Planck's constant. Higher-frequency light, like ultraviolet, carries more energy.
