Wavelength to Frequency Calculator

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

Enter a wavelength. Example: 2.4 for 2.4 m.
Result: 0 MHz

Formula: f = c/λ

Where:

  • f = Frequency (Hz)
  • c = Speed of light (299,792,458 m/s)
  • λ (Lambda) = Wavelength in meters

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:

  • Frequency determination: Convert wavelength to frequency for various RF applications.

  • Wireless signal assessment: Understand frequency values to optimize wireless communication performance.

  • RF system design: Support spectrum planning and antenna design by correlating wavelength and frequency.
