Wavelength in nanometers to Terahertz Converter
Use this page to convert wavelength in nanometers values into terahertz, 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.
nm wavelength to THz: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.
Example: 1000000000 nm wavelength = 0.000299792458 THz
Wavelength in nanometers
Frequency in hertz equals the speed of light divided by wavelength in meters, after converting nanometers to meters.
History: Nanometer wavelengths are standard for visible and ultraviolet light.
Current use: Used for visible light, LEDs, lasers, spectroscopy, and optical filters.
Also written as nm wavelength, nanometer wavelength, nanometre wavelength, wavelength nanometers.
Terahertz
One terahertz is equal to one trillion hertz (1000000000000 hertz).
History: Terahertz units are used between microwave and infrared frequency ranges.
Current use: Used in spectroscopy, imaging, communications, and optical-frequency references.
Also written as THz, terahertz.
