How This Converter Works

Convert between Reciprocal Centimeters (cm⁻¹) and Reciprocal Meters (m⁻¹). Select either direction to convert directly.

Formula or rule

Reciprocal Meters = Reciprocal Centimeters * 100; Reciprocal Centimeters = Reciprocal Meters / 100

Example

Input: 1 cm⁻¹
Calculation: 1 * 100 = 100
Result: 100 m⁻¹

Notes

Spectroscopic wavenumber is reciprocal wavelength, conventionally expressed in cm⁻¹. The frequency and photon-energy equivalents here assume vacuum propagation and use ν = cṽ and E = hcṽ with exact SI values of c, h, and the elementary charge.
