Dear Maple users

The formula f = c/λ is expressing the frequency in terms of the velocity of light  c and the wavelength λ. Lets say given not just one wavelength, but a whole list af wavelengths. The values have units attached. I wonder if there is an elegant way to have Maple calculate the all the frequencies, eventually delivering them in a new list?

I want the units of the output reduced to SI-units, and delivered with decimals. I have tried using the map command, but I was unable to access the "Replace Units" command, which is usually available in the context menu ...

Maybe I am looking in the wrong direction. Would a table be more appropriate?

 

Regards,

Erik
