  2. Wavenumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavenumber

    It equals the spatial frequency. For example, a wavenumber in inverse centimeters can be converted to a frequency expressed in the unit gigahertz by multiplying by 29.979 2458 cm/ns (the speed of light, in centimeters per nanosecond); [5] conversely, an electromagnetic wave at 29.9792458 GHz has a wavelength of 1 cm in free space.

  3. Wavelength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength

    Wavelength is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. [3] [4] The inverse of the wavelength is called the spatial frequency. Wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).

  4. Planck relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_relation

    The Planck relation [1] [2] [3] (referred to as Planck's energy–frequency relation, [4] the Planck–Einstein relation, [5] Planck equation, [6] and Planck formula, [7] though the latter might also refer to Planck's law [8] [9]) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics which states that the energy E of a photon, known as photon energy, is proportional to its frequency ν: =.

  5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    In frequency (and thus energy), UV rays sit between the violet end of the visible spectrum and the X-ray range. The UV wavelength spectrum ranges from 399 nm to 10 nm and is divided into 3 sections: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UV is the lowest energy range energetic enough to ionize atoms, separating electrons from them, and thus causing chemical reactions.

  6. Photon energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_energy

    is frequency [2] This equation is known as the Planck relation. Additionally, using equation f = c/λ, = where E is the photon's energy; λ is the photon's wavelength; c is the speed of light in vacuum; h is the Planck constant

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    The frequency and the period are related by the equation [4] =. ... (c in vacuum or less in other media), f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength.

  8. Spatial frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_frequency

    The value of each data point in k-space is measured in the unit of 1/meter, i.e. the unit of spatial frequency. It is very common that the raw data in k-space shows features of periodic functions. The periodicity is not spatial frequency, but is temporal frequency. An MRI raw data matrix is composed of a series of phase-variable spin-echo signals.

  9. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    The 41.8% point is the wavelength-frequency-neutral peak (i.e. the peak in power per unit change in logarithm of wavelength or frequency). These are the points at which the respective Planck-law functions ⁠ 1 / λ 5 ⁠ , ν 3 and ⁠ ν 2 / λ 2 ⁠ , respectively, divided by exp ( ⁠ hν / k B T ⁠ ) − 1 attain their maxima.
