Please can someone show me the steps needed to go about rearranging the equation Eph = hc/lambda to make lambda (the wavelength of the light) the subject? I'm totally stuck and I have an exam in the morning, I know it should be simple but I'm just not getting it. Any and all help is appreciated.

Multiply both sides by wavelength (and cancel out any term over itself) divide both sides by energy (and then cancel out again)

[math]Eph = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[/math]

[math]\frac{Eph \lambda}{Eph} = \frac{hc \lambda}{Eph \lambda}[/math]

[math]\lambda = \frac{hc}{Eph}[/math]
