The wavelength to frequency converter makes it possible to determine the frequency corresponding to a given wavelength.
This tool is essential for RF engineers, antenna designers, and students wanting to understand the relationship between wavelength and electromagnetic frequency.
Formula used
f = c / λ
Or :
f = frequency (Hz)
c = speed of light (~3 × 10⁸ m/s)
λ = wavelength (m)
Explanation
The formula shows that frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
This relationship is fundamental in RF systems, antenna design, wireless communications and the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
Calculation example
For a wavelength of 1 meter :
f = 3 × 10⁸ / 1 = 300,000,000 Hz or 300 MHz
For a wavelength of 10 cm (0.1 meter):
f = 3 × 10⁸ / 0.1 = 3,000,000,000 Hz or 3 GHz
Benefits and Use
- Fast and accurate conversion between wavelength and frequency.
- Practical tool for the design and analysis of RF antennas and circuits.
- Helps to understand the fundamental relationship between frequency and wave propagation.
- Useful in telecommunications, radar, optics and electronics applications.
- Allows you to easily compare different frequency ranges depending on project needs.
