Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Calculator

Overview

This project implements a Python 3.7+ Tkinter GUI to facilitate the following EMR calculations which I find useful as a student of Astrophysics:

• Conversion between Energy, Frequency, Wavelength, and Wavenumber.
• Editing the units or quantities of any of those characteristics.
• Display of the kJ/mol equivalent.
• Display of the related EMR band as defined by NASA.
• Automatic update of quantities and EMR band name after editing.

Some special files in addition to the emrcalc/*.py source code:

• HISTORY.txt - the update history
• misc/SCREENSHOT.png - a sample screenshot
• misc/url.txt - URLs to background information

Dependencies

numpy
scipy
tkinter - included with Python 3
tkinter.ttk - included with Python 3

Installation
