Description
Problem Statement
The conversion between these three is done very often in chemistry-related workloads. As a result, there are multiple online calculators dedicated for this where you can input one and get the other two out. This behavior can still be adapted for the input one-output one that already exists in this calculator. This also fits with HS-PS4-1 of the common core. This is also part of basic college chem classes.
Evidence or User Insights
Proposal
Add a converter for photon energy
Low-Fidelity Concept
Requested Assignment
I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Review the calculator's existing input-one/output-one conversion behavior and the low-fidelity concept images in the issue. Define how frequency, wavelength, and photon energy relate within that flow, then verify that entering any one value produces the other two and matches the proposal.
