Wavelength in decimetres applies mainly to lower frequency ranges, whereas exahertz targets extremely high frequencies
-
Conversion accuracy may reduce outside ideal vacuum or for non-electromagnetic waves
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does wavelength in decimetres represent?
-
It represents the spatial period or distance between identical points of a wave, expressed in decimetres.
-
What is exahertz used to measure?
-
Exahertz measures extremely high frequencies, typically related to electromagnetic radiation in the soft X-ray range.
-
Is this conversion valid for all types of waves?
-
No, the conversion assumes electromagnetic waves traveling in a vacuum and may not be accurate for other wave types.
Key Terminology
-
Wavelength in decimetres
