Wavenumber in most physical sciences is a wave property inversely related to wavelength, having SI units of reciprocal meters(m−1). Wavenumber is the spatial analog of frequency, that is, it is the measurement of the number of wavelengths per unit distance, or more commonly 2π times that, or the number of radians of phase per unit distance. Application of a Fourier transformation on data as a function of time yields a frequency spectrum; application on data as a function of position yields a wavenumber spectrum. The exact definition varies depending on the field of study. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber
If that is the wavelength, 31.95um is 0.003195cm. This is 313cm-1
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
photon
the mass of a photon is zero
wavenumber is directly proportional to energy. It is inversely proportional to wavelength. I think wavenumber has the unit of m-1

wavenumber= 1/wavelength
Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number
If that is the wavelength, 31.95um is 0.003195cm. This is 313cm-1
Wavenumber is inversely proportional to wavelength, so has units m^-1
Just divide 1 by the wavelength in microns, to get the wavenumber, in cycles/micron.If you want the wavenumber in cycles/meter, first convert the microns to meters, then divide 1 by this wavelength.

tata photon plus is ratan tata and Javed Siddiqui is houner of PHoton whiz..............
No, a photon is not time travelling
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
