Wavelength in micrometers to Hertz Converter

Use this page to convert wavelength in micrometers values into hertz, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Conversion formula

This conversion uses an offset formula rather than a single multiplier because the temperature scales start from different zero points.

um wavelength to Hz: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.

Example: 1000000000 um wavelength = 299,792.458 Hz

Wavelength in micrometers

Frequency in hertz equals the speed of light divided by wavelength in meters, after converting micrometers to meters.

History: Micrometer wavelengths are common in infrared optics.

Current use: Used for infrared light, lasers, spectroscopy, and optical materials.

Also written as um wavelength, micrometer wavelength, micrometre wavelength, wavelength micrometers.

Hertz

Hertz measures cycles per second.

History: The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz and is the SI unit of frequency.

Current use: Used for waves, electronics, optics, sound, radio, computing, and periodic phenomena.

Also written as Hz, hertz, cycles per second.
