Wavelength of Light

λ=cf
(c)Speed of Light
(f)Frequency

The Wavelength of Light equation is used to calculate the wavelength of light in a particular medium using the frequency and speed of light where:

  • f = frequency
  • c = speed of light

Wavelength(λ): The equations returns the wavelength(λ) in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to other wavelength units via the pull-down menu.
