In SI system, unit of wavelength is meter. Any way meter is a large unit so we use Angstrom and some times nanometer. Angstrom (Ǻ) equals to 10 -10 m and nano metre equals to 10-9 m. The range of wavelength for visible light is from 3700 Ǻ to 7200 Ǻ.

What is a unit of measuring wavelength of light?

The unit of measuring wavelength of light is typically in nanometers (nm). One nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter, making it a convenient unit for measuring the very small wavelengths of light.

What is the speed of a wave if the frequency is 238 and the wavelength is 9?

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (238 x 9) =2,142 (same length unit as the wavelength) per second.


What is above a waves wavelength?

Above a wave's wavelength is its frequency, which represents the number of wave cycles that pass a fixed point in a unit of time. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in that as wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and vice versa.


What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?

"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.


What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?

Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".


What is the SI unit for wavelength?

Wavelength is a length. As such, any unit of length is suitable as a description of wavelength. The SI unit of length is the meter. Along with its multiples and sub-multiples, the meter is a dandy unit of wavelength.
