How to Convert EV to Wavelength
To convert energy in electron volts (eV) to wavelength (λ), we use the relationship between photon energy and wavelength derived from Planck's equation.
Formula:
Where:
- h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 × 10-34 J·s
- c = Speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s
- E = Energy in joules (convert from eV)
Conversion: 1 eV = 1.602 × 10-19 joules
Simplified Formula:
Example Calculation
Given: Energy (E) = 2 eV
1. Use simplified formula: λ = 1240 / 2
2. Calculate: λ = 620 nm
Final Answer: The wavelength is 620 nanometers.
