`scipy.constants._constants:nu2lambda`

source: /scipy/constants/_constants.py :340

Signature

def nu2lambda ( nu : npt.ArrayLike ) → Any

Summary

Convert optical frequency to wavelength.

Parameters

nu : array_like: Optical frequency to be converted.

Returns

lambda : float or array of floats: Equivalent wavelength(s).

Notes

Computes lambda = c / nu where c = 299792458.0, i.e., the (vacuum) speed of light in meters/second.

Array API Standard Support

nu2lambda has experimental support for Python Array API Standard compatible backends in addition to NumPy. Please consider testing these features by setting an environment variable SCIPY_ARRAY_API=1 and providing CuPy, PyTorch, JAX, or Dask arrays as array arguments. The following combinations of backend and device (or other capability) are supported.
