#Variable declaration
lembda0=5000*10**-10                     #Wavelength of radiation (meter)
lembda=5050.5*10**-10                    #Wavelength of Raman line (meter)

#Calculation
#(a) Raman frequency
v0=1.0/lembda0                             #Wave number of radiation (1/meter)
v=1.0/lembda                               #Wave number of Raman line (1/meter)
shift=v0-v                               #Raman shift (1/meter)
va=v0+shift                              #Frequency of antistoke's line (1/meter)
#(b) Position of the antistokes' line
lembdaa=(10.0**10.0)/va                        #Wavelength of antistoke's line (Å)

#Result
print"(a) Raman frequency =%.2e"%va,"m**-1"
print"(b) Wavelength of antistoke`s line =%.1f"%lembdaa,"Å (APPROX)"
(a) Raman frequency =2.02e+06 m**-1
(b) Wavelength of antistoke`s line =4950.5 Å (APPROX)
