Convert between different units of length, wavelength, and other quantities. Calculate costs for unit conversions.

Unit Converter: Length, Wavelength (L)

Purpose

The Unit Converter: Length, Wavelength function is designed to help users convert lengths or wavelengths from one unit of measurement to another. This can be useful for tasks such as converting distances from feet to meters or wavelengths from nanometers to micrometers.

Use Cases

Users can utilize this function to convert lengths or wavelengths for various purposes such as scientific calculations, engineering projects, or simply for everyday unit conversions.

How to Use

1. Enter the value you want to convert in the Value field.
2. Select the unit of measurement you are converting from in the From Unit dropdown menu. (Default unit is inch)
3. Select the unit of measurement you want to convert to in the To Unit dropdown menu.
4. Click on the Convert button to see the converted value.

Input Values

1. Value: The numerical value you want to convert.
2. From Unit: The unit of measurement you are converting from. (e.g., feet, meters)
3. To Unit: The unit of measurement you want to convert to. (e.g., inches, centimeters)

Output Values

1. Converted Value: The result of the conversion in the selected unit of measurement.

Any other Instruction

• Make sure to select the correct units for conversion to get accurate results.
• Double-check the converted value to ensure it matches your expectations.

1. The function determines the mode of conversion based on user input.
2. It then performs the conversion calculation based on the selected mode and units.
3. The function also calculates the total cost if a unit cost is provided.

Technical Parameter names

quantity, mode, value, from_unit, from_qty, to_units, to_qty, unit_cost

Return Values

value, from_unit_, to_units_, expressed_value, category, total_cost, from_qty, to_qty

Example Expressions

You can use the following expressions to directly evaluate in a non-interactive manner using eva():

1. conv2('L', 'u2u', '5.5', ['ft'], 'l_earth_moon', ['m'], '', '@UNC/ft')
2. conv2('L', 'u2q', '10', ['m'], 'l_earth_moon', ['ft'], 'l_earth_moon', '@UNC/m')
