::'''Support''' removing nm from the table. Conversion factors can be noted in the article body. --[[User:Kkmurray|Kkmurray]] ([[User talk:Kkmurray|talk]]) 21:30, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
:::{{done}} But not the conversion, yet. [[User:Tomásdearg92|Tomásdearg92]] ([[User talk:Tomásdearg92|talk]]) 00:13, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
::'''Support''' removing nm and keeping them removed. It is actually mathematically incorrect to convert features (peaks and troughs) of a distribution curve this way (whether a probability distribution or spectrum), and can introduce errors as high as single digit percents for common IR spectra, and as high as 67% for very broad spectra like the solar spectrum (case in point: the peak of the solar spectrum in wavelength is Green-Visible while in frequency it's Infrared). Converting one's entire curve to the axis used by the literature (wavelength vs wavenumber/frequency/photon-energy) ''then'' calculating the peaks will give the correct values that can be compared to the literature, while taking peaks and converting them alone will give slightly- to very- incorrect values. (Though it's less of an issue the narrower the peak/trough, which explains why you can get away with it in atomic gas emission lines). --[[User:RProgrammer|RProgrammer]] ([[User talk:RProgrammer|talk]]) 22:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
