Energy, Wavelength, Speed

Today's lecture wasn't that complicated at all. All we needed to do is memorize the two formulas in order to find wavelength, frequency, and energy of transverse waves. We had to pay close attention to the units each number was in. If it was in a different unit, then we had to convert it back into the correct measurement before finishing the problem. Along with memorizing the formulas, we had to memories two constants (speed of light and Planck's constant) in order to solve the problems. Once you memorize the formulas and constants the rest is really easy since it is just plug and chug!

  1. I like the chart you put at the beginning, I feel I'm gong to forget those conversions a lot. And you explained this lesson really well, Good Job.
