Answer:
Here's what I get.
Explanation:
(b) Wavenumber and wavelength
The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.
Thus, if λ = 3 µm,
(a) Wavenumber and frequency
Since
λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c
the relation between wavenumber and frequency is
Thus, if f = 90 THz
(c) Units
(i) Frequency
The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.
(ii) Wavelength
The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).
(iii) Wavenumber
The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).
