Thanks, that cleared that up!

Is it a measure of energy in cm^-1?

My lecturer was going through a derivation, and I'm a bit stumped as to what kT/hc actually signifies. Like what is it...

So I'm a chemistry student here in the UK - and I'm feeling a bit like a fish out of water on a physics forum but... I'm having trouble with a derivation that seems simple but i can't for some reason seem to understand. I know that the energy of a photon is given by E=hc and that c=lambda*v...
