How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the wavenumber of the material in cm⁻¹ in the "Wavenumber" field.
  2. The speed of light is already pre-filled with a standard value of 29979245800 cm/s. You can change it if needed.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the absorption frequency.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Absorption Frequency" field in Hz.
  5. Click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields and results.

Working Principle

The absorption frequency of a material can be calculated using the relationship between wavenumber and the speed of light. The formula used is:

f = c * ν̃

Where:

  • f is the absorption frequency in Hertz (Hz).
  • c is the speed of light in cm/s.
  • ν̃ is the wavenumber in cm⁻¹.

This calculator is particularly useful in spectroscopy and material science for determining the frequency at which a material absorbs light.
