wavenumber is directly proportional to energy. It is inversely proportional to wavelength. I think wavenumber has the unit of m-1
Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number
wavenumber= 1/wavelength
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
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.

spectroscope-A spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. The variable measured is most often the light's intensity but could also, for instance, be the polarization state. The independent variable is usually the wavelength of the light or a unit directly proportional to the photon energy, such as wavenumber or electron volts, which has a reciprocal relationship to wavelength. A spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities. Spectrometer is a term that is applied to instruments that operate over a very wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays and X-rays into the far infrared. If the region of interest is restricted to near the visible spectrum, the study is called spectrophotometry.In general, any particular instrument will operate over a small portion of this total range because of the different techniques used to measure different portions of the spectrum. Below optical frequencies (that is, at microwave and radio frequencies), the spectrum analyzer is a closely related electronic device.
The letter K can have many meanings both as a capital (K) and a small letter (k). In physical science alone it can mean:K potassiumk angular wavenumber of a waveK the symbol that represents a kaonk the spring constant in Hooke's lawk or kB the Boltzmann constantK equilibrium constantk thermal conductivityk the Gaussian gravitational constantIn other sciences it can have other meanings: K the amino acid lysineK, the carrying capacity of an environmentK carat applied to goldK the Cretaceous geological period
Yes, waves have several important properties. The first property is the type of wave - mechanical (string waves, water waves, acoustic etc), electromagnetic (light, microwaves), gravitational (of use to general relativity), probability (of use in quantum) The actual wave is determined by 4 main properties, The amplitude of the wave (how big it is), the wavenumber (where it is going and what is its wavelength), frequency (how fast it is oscillating), and phase (only really useful when waves interfere, so don't worry about this). Obviously this is a very simplistic analysis, so I would recommend the excellent text by A.P. French, called waves and oscillations, to learn more about waves at an early undergrad level. If in high school, most physics and some chem textbooks have excellent descriptions.
The Schrödinger wave equation shows the interactions between particles and potential fields (i.e., electrons within atoms) by describing the behavior of such a system. Elaborating a little more, a particle is described by what is called a wavefunction. This wavefunction has a space (x,y,z) and time (t) dependency and is continuous, finite and single valued. Therefore the Schrödinger wave partial differential equation shows how the wavefunction of a system behaves over time.
