we can calculate the \emph{oscillation frequency}, and vice versa -- if we know
the frequency we can calculate the wavelength.

When we are working with \gls{PWM} we will be using the period length set in
microseconds ($\mu\mbox{s}$.) 1 microseconds is one millionth of a second. For
the sake of brevity, we will be writing such small quantities of time in
scientific notation: that is, using powers of 10. The table
\ref{table:timescale-units} shows various second fractions. \footnote{The full
list of multiplies and sub-multiplies can be found in the article
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second}{``Second''} in Wikipedia.}

\begin{table}[H]
\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}|p{4cm}|p{3cm}}
Unit & Relation the second & Examples \\
\hline \hline
Second ($s$)
& $ 1 \mbox{s} $ or $ 10^0 \mbox{s} $
& $ 500 * 10^{0} = 500 \mbox{s} $ \\
\hline
Millisecond ($\mbox{ms}$)
& $ 0.001 \mbox{s} $ or $ 10^{-3} \mbox{s} $
& $ 500 * 10^{-3} = 500 \mbox{ms} $ \\
\hline
Microsecond ($\mu\mbox{s}$ or just ``us'')
& $ 0.000001 \mbox{s} $ or $ 10^{-6} \mbox{s} $
& $ 500 * 10^{-6} = 500 \mu\mbox{s} $ \\
\hline
Nanosecond ($\mbox{ns}$)
& $ 0.000000001 \mbox{s} $ or $ 10^{-9} \mbox{s} $
& $ 500 * 10^{-9} = 500 \mbox{ns} $
