The length of a given electromagnetic wave is equal to the speed of light divided by the wave's frequency. Should one wish to calculate this number for a given wave it is best done with a TI-83 Plus calculator accompanied by a high quality drafting pencil and an eraser (should one make mistakes).
I don't get it. And it's not just because I'm blitzed it's because I don't get it.

ReplyDeleteOh duh! I've forgotten far to much from gen chem. Time to crack open Chang.
ReplyDeleteyeah i think you mean
ReplyDelete"λ = c/f"
where f is frequency.
No, I mean exactly what I wrote. Lambda=c/v, why do people always correct me when I'm right?
