If you divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in Hz), you get the wavelength (in meters).
Divide the speed of light in a vacuum (in meters/second) by the wavelength (which you must convert to meters); that will give you the frequency in hertz. The frequency will be the same for different substances.
A spectrometer measures properties of light of a specific part of the wavelength. It is often used to measure the intensity of a light.
Depends on what the speed of the wave is. The wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave divided by its frequency. For light in a vaccum, for instance, the speed is c, or about 3.00 x 10e8 meters/second. If the frequency was in Hertz (cycles/second), then the wavelength would be 448,000 meters. So, this probably is a light frequency. If it were the sound at sea level, the speed is 340 meters/second, so the resulting wavelength would be 0.507 meters. The sound would be nearly an "E".
Speed (of a wave) = frequency x wavelengthTherefore, you have to: * Convert the wavelength to meters. * Divide the speed of light - which is 300 million meters/second - by this wavelength. The answer will be in Hz.
If a wavelength of light emitted from a particular red diode laser is 651 nm, its wavelength would be equivalent to 0.000000651 meters.
spectrophotometer, an instrument that measures the wavelength of light.
Just divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in hertz) - that will give you the wavelength (in meters). You can then convert that to nm.
"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.
If you divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in Hz), you get the wavelength (in meters).

Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
