1. An exposure apparatus for exposing a substrate to pulsed light supplied from a light source, the apparatus comprising:
an input device; and
a controller configured to periodically change a wavelength of the pulsed light emitted by the light source,
wherein the controller is configured to calculate number of pulsed light required to expose each point on the substrate based on a parameter input from the input device, and configured to determine a changing period of the wavelength based on the calculated number.
