Our first official lecture of the unit consisted of frequency and wavelength.
We focused a little bit on the visible light spectrum and which had the longer/shorter waves. In doing so, we classified wavelengths, with the key of Lambda, and frequencies that were just defined with a fancy V.
In converting to wavelengths, we used two main conversions:
Angstroms: 1x10^10
Nanometers: 1x10^9
We also were given the number for the speed of light which was 3.0x10^8.
And there were two main equations that we had learned:
The Relationship Between Energy and Frequency:
E (Energy) = h (6.63x10^-34) x V(frequency)
The Speed of a Wave:
V(Speed or Velocity) = f(frequency) x Lambda(wavelength)
