How to convert cm 1 to eV?

Cm^-1 (wavenumber) is a unit of energy often used in spectroscopy to describe the energy of photons. In order to convert cm^-1 to electron volts (eV), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 cm^-1 = 0.00012398 eV

To convert cm^-1 to eV, simply multiply the value in cm^-1 by 0.00012398.

For example:

If you have a value of 500 cm^-1, the conversion to eV would be:

500 cm^-1 x 0.00012398 eV/cm^-1 = 0.062 eV

Therefore, 500 cm^-1 is equivalent to 0.062 eV.
