the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a light wave is called its wavelength.
Answer - meters or derivations of meters e.g micrometers, nanometers etc
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.
Radiant energy does not exist in quantum units because radiant energy has no wavelength
First get the wavelength in meters by multiplying Plancks constant (in units of J-sec) times the speed of light (in m/sec) and divided by the energy. Then change to nanometers by multiplying by 1 billion.
The definition of unit is that it DOESN'T represent anything. For example: two units of water could be two teaspoons or two gallons. The only thing unit-units are used for is comparing.
To find wavelength in picometer (pm) units, you can use the formula: wavelength (pm) = wavelength (in meters) * 1e12. Simply multiply the wavelength value in meters by 1e12 to convert it to picometers.
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".
Wavelength (Apex)
The wavelength of light, 7.60 x 10^-10 m, would be reported as 760 nm in units of nanometers.
Wavenumber is inversely proportional to wavelength, so has units m^-1

A wavelength by definition is the amplitude of motion over one cycle
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
Just divide the speed by the frequency. Since SI units are used, the wavelength will be in meters.
Velocity: metres per second,wavelength: metresfrequency: hertzDepending on the waves, these may need to be used with prefices.
The wavelength is indicated by the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave. It can be measured in units such as meters or nanometers.
