Recently, we learned about the wavelength, frequency, and energy of electromagnetic radiation. Wavelength is the distance from one crest to another on a wave while frequency is the number of cycles that pass through a point in one second. Energy is equal to the product of Planck's constant and frequency while frequency is the speed of light divided by wavelength. Converting between units such as nanometers and angstroms are also important for this unit since questions could be giving you different starting units.
