Hi to everybody;
I wanted to ask: which is the factor of conversion from cm^{-1} to eV?
Thank you!

The conversion factor for cm^{-1} to eV is 1/8065.54429. This means that one cm^{-1} is equivalent to 1/8065.54429 eV.
To convert from cm^{-1} to eV, you can use the formula E (eV) = hc / λ (cm^{-1}), where h is Planck's constant (4.1357 x 10^-15 eV*s) and c is the speed of light (2.9979 x 10^10 cm/s).
Converting from cm^{-1} to eV is important in the field of spectroscopy, where energy is often measured in terms of cm^{-1}. Converting to eV allows for easier comparison and analysis of energy levels and transitions.
The relationship between cm^{-1} and eV is that they are units of energy. Both represent the amount of energy needed to move one electron across a potential difference of one volt.
Yes, there are many online calculators available that can quickly and accurately convert from cm^{-1} to eV. It is always a good idea to double-check your calculations with a calculator or other reliable source.
