Wavelength Calculator Purpose:

The Wavelength Calculator helps determine the wavelength of light or other electromagnetic waves when the frequency is known. It uses the formula:

lambda(λ) = (v)/(ƒ) 

• λ (lambda) is the wavelength,
• c is the speed of light in a vacuum, approximately 299,792,458299,792,458299,792,458 meters per second (m/s), and
• f is the frequency in hertz (Hz).

This tool is useful in physics, optics, and telecommunications to understand the properties of waves.

How to Use:

1. Open the Tool: Navigate to the Wavelength Calculator page on your web browser.
2. Enter the Frequency:
   • In the "Enter Frequency (f)" input field, type the frequency of the wave in hertz (Hz).
3. Calculate the Wavelength:
   • Click the "Calculate" button. The tool will use the formula λ=cf\lambda = \frac{c}{f}λ=fc​ to calculate the wavelength.
4. View the Result:
   • The calculated wavelength will be displayed in the "Wavelength (λ)" field and in the result box below the form.
5. Reset:
   • Click the "Reset" button to clear the fields and results, allowing you to enter a new frequency for another calculation.

Example Use:

Scenario: Calculate the wavelength of a light wave with a frequency of 5×10145 \times 10^{14}5×1014 Hz.

• Frequency (f): Enter 5e14 (which stands for 5×10145 \times 10^{14}5×1014 Hz).
• Calculate: Click "Calculate" to find the wavelength.
• Result: The tool will display "Wavelength (λ) = 5.996e-07 m".

This result shows that the wavelength of light with the given frequency is approximately 599.6 nanometers.
