Standard Units

[NatBrown1I]

What are the standard units for the wavelength equation?

[Ricky Ma DIS 4E]

The standards units for lambda is meters per second or m/s

[Chloe Likwong 2K]

Wavelength (lambda): nm or m
Frequency (nu): Hz or s^-1.
Speed of light: m/s

Hope it helps!

Wavelength or lambda is measured in meters per second.

[Manas Jinka]

Wavelength is measured in m. Many questions give the measurements in nanometers so don't forget to convert to meters.

[Edward Xie 2E]

Wavelength, or lambda, is measured in meters, not meters per second.

[Connie Chen 3D]

Wavelength is almost always in meters (standard) or nanometers (10^-9 m). It is portrayed by the greek letter lambda, which looks like a curvy upside v almost.

Anything in m/s is ALWAYS going to be velocity. Under no circumstances will it ever be a wavelength.

Wavelength units are m or nm. If they give you nm, make sure to convert to m (SI unit for wavelength)

[Rebecca Park]

Normally m, but in the solutions manual, they give both m and nm so I think both will be good
