how to convert the energy of a photon(J) in the fomular E=h.v =pc into cm^-1?

Question

p= momentum (Js/m)
h is Planck's constant =6.62*10^-34 (Js)
c is speed of light =3*10^8 m/s

yeah want to know how to convert joules into 1/cm
that mean like when u solve E (J) then i need E in unit (1/cm)
e=h*v
v is frequency (1/s )

Answer 1

I dont really understand. do want to know how to convert joules into 1/cm? I dont think its possible but ill think about it. and the way i understand youre question, E=hv has no relevence
Please clarify with more info if u can

After seeing what meg said, now i understand, it definitely was not very clear. Just to clarify for you, wavelength is not measured in energy, but in length.

Answer 2

wavelength =c/v and 1/wavelength has units cm^-1 if c has units cm/sec and v has units 1/sec
