In my astrophysics book (Astrophysics, Nigel Ingham), there are intensity-wavelength graphs for line spectra (both emission & absorption). On the y-axis, relative intensity is plotted. But on the x-axis, frequency and not wavelength is plotted. Why is this? If I wanted to convert this graph to an actual intensity-wavelength graph (e.g. like one for a black body), what would I have to do?
