# scipy.constants.nu2lambda

scipy.constants.nu2lambda(nu)

  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.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy.constants import nu2lambda, speed_of_light
      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> nu2lambda(np.array((1, speed_of_light)))
      array([  2.99792458e+08,   1.00000000e+00])
