What is the formula for calculating wavelength from frequency?

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) ÷ Frequency (f)
Where:

  • λ is the wavelength in metres

  • c is the speed of light (approximately 299,792,458 m/s)

  • f is the frequency in hertz (Hz)

Frequency to wavelength FAQs

  • This tool converts frequency (measured in hertz, kHz, MHz, or GHz) into wavelength (measured in metres) using the speed of light. It helps engineers, students, and hobbyists working in RF, electronics, or physics.

  • The formula is:

    Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) ÷ Frequency (f)
    Where:

    • λ is the wavelength in metres

    • c is the speed of light (approximately 299,792,458 m/s)

    • f is the frequency in hertz (Hz)

    • Hertz (Hz)

    • Kilohertz (kHz)

    • Megahertz (MHz)

    • Gigahertz (GHz)

    The result will be displayed in metres.

  • Because the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, increasing the frequency shortens the wavelength and vice versa. This is a fundamental principle of wave physics.

  • It's commonly used by:

    • RF and microwave engineers

    • Telecom professionals

    • Electronics designers

    • Ham radio operators

    • Physics students
