To convert from cm^-1 to erg, you can use the formula: 1 cm^-1 = 1.986 x 10^-23 erg. This means that you simply need to multiply the number of cm^-1 by 1.986 x 10^-23 to get the equivalent value in erg.
The conversion factor for cm^-1 to joules is 1.986 x 10^-23 J. This means that you can convert from cm^-1 to joules by multiplying the number of cm^-1 by 1.986 x 10^-23.
Yes, you can use a calculator to convert cm^-1 to erg or joules. Simply enter the number of cm^-1 and multiply it by the appropriate conversion factor (1.986 x 10^-23 for erg, or 1.986 x 10^-23 for joules).
Converting from cm^-1 to erg or joules is necessary because cm^-1 is a unit of energy commonly used in spectroscopy, while erg and joules are the standard units of energy in the International System of Units (SI). This conversion allows for easier comparison and calculation of energy values in different units.
No, there is no difference between converting cm^-1 to erg and cm^-1 to joules. The only difference is in the unit of measurement, with erg being the unit of energy in the CGS system and joules being the unit of energy in the SI system. The conversion factor is the same for both.
