    For Nitrogen:

    wavelength = NA x h C / bond energy

    = 6.022 x 10²³ x 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / (945 x 10³)

    = 1.27 x 10⁻⁷ m

    For Oxygen::

    wavelength = NA x h C / bond energy

    = 6.022 x 10²³ x 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / (498 x 10³)

    = 2.40 x 10⁻⁷ m

    For Fluorine:

    wavelength = NA x h C / bond energy

    = 6.022 x 10²³ x 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / (159 x 10³)

    = 7.52 x 10⁻⁷ m

    (NA is Avogadro's number, h is Planck's constant and C is speed of light)
