Thermal energy is heat; heat is just a shorter way of saying thermal energy. Some units include J. However, temperature is a measure of thermal energy. Units include C, K, F, etc.
The term temperature refers to the average amount of heat or the motion energy of particles in a substance. It measures the hotness and coldness of a substance. If an object has particles that move very fast, then it has a high temperature.
Temperature is different from the term thermal energy. Thermal energy is the total motion energy of particles in a substance. The movement of particles is always dependent on their number. If an object contains many particles, then it has greater thermal energy.
On the other hand, Heat is the energy that is involved in the movement of particles between objects that have different temperatures, particularly from an object with a high temperature to an object with a low temperature.
C = vf c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8) v stands for the wavelength (which is given) f stands for frequency (what we are solving for) 3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f Divide both sides by the given wavelength f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds
