Hertz to Nanometers Calculator

Formula

The formula to convert a frequency in hertz into a length of nanometers is:

$w = \frac{V}{f} \times 10^9$

Where:

$w$ is the wavelength (nanometers)
$V$ is the wave velocity (m/s)
$f$ is the frequency (Hz)

What is Hertz to Nanometers?

Hertz to nanometers is a conversion process used to determine the wavelength of a wave based on its frequency. This is important in fields such as physics and engineering, where understanding the relationship between frequency and wavelength is crucial for various applications.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Wave Velocity (V) = 3 x 10⁸ m/s (speed of light)
Frequency (f) = 5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Using the formula to calculate the wavelength:

$w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{5 \times 10^{14}} \times 10^9 = \frac{3}{5} \times 10^{-7} \times 10^9 = 0.6 \times 10^2 = 60$

The wavelength is 60 nm.
