Frequency to Wavelength Calculator

Use this tool to calculate the wavelength based on frequency, assuming the wave is traveling at the speed of light.

Enter a frequency. Example: 2.4 for 2.4 MHz.
Result: 0 meters

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.
