Photon Frequency Using Wavelength

A photon is an elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation (such as light) and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.

The frequency equals the speed of light divided by the wavelength.

Formula

QuantityVariable["ν", "Frequency"] == Quantity[1, "SpeedOfLight"]/QuantityVariable["λ", "Wavelength"]

symbol description physical quantity
ν frequency "Frequency"
λ wavelength "Wavelength"
