Frequency to Wavelength Calculator
Use this tool to calculate the wavelength based on frequency, assuming the wave is traveling at the speed of light.
Formula: λ = c/f
Where:
- λ (Lambda) = Wavelength in meters
- c = Speed of light (299,792,458 m/s)
- f = Frequency in Hz
Common Applications:
- FM Radio: 88-108 MHz (~3m)
- WiFi: 2.4 GHz (~12.5cm) / 5 GHz (~6cm)
- Mobile: 700-2600 MHz (~43-12cm)
- GPS: 1.57 GHz (~19cm)
This tool assists in:
Wavelength analysis: Determining the physical wavelength of a waveform based on its frequency.
Wireless signal assessment: Understanding the wavelength to ensure optimal performance in wireless communication setups.
Frequency planning: Supporting frequency allocations and RF designs by converting between frequency and wavelength values.
