The wavelength is illustrated by the image below. To calculate wavelength, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Planck’s Constant (h), Speed of Light (c) and Energy Gap (Eg).
The formula for calculating wavelength:
λ = hc/Eg
Where:
λ = Wavelength (Eg)
h = Planck’s Constant
c = Speed of Light
Eg = Energy Gap
Given an example;
Find the wavelength when the planck’s constant is 6.626E-24, the speed of light is 3E8 and the energy gap is 24.
This implies that;
h = Planck’s Constant = 6.626E-24
c = Speed of Light = 3E8
Eg = Energy Gap = 24
λ = hc/Eg
That is, λ = (6.62607004e-24)(300000000)/24
λ = 1.987821012e-15/24
λ = 8.28e-17
Therefore, the wavelength is 8.28e-17m.
