The frequency to wavelength converter makes it possible to determine the wavelength corresponding to a given frequency.
This tool is used in radio frequency, telecommunications and antenna design to relate frequency and wavelength values.
Formula used
λ = c/f
Or :
λ = wavelength (meters)
c = speed of light (≈ 3 × 10⁸ m/s)
f = frequency (Hz, kHz, MHz or GHz)
Explanation
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
This relationship arises from the constant speed of propagation of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum, represented by the constant c .
Calculation example
For a frequency of 3 GHz :
λ = 3 × 10⁸ / (3 × 10⁹) = 0.1 m
So a 3 GHz wave has a wavelength of about 10 centimeters.
Benefits and Use
- Facilitates rapid conversion between frequency and wavelength.
- Useful for designing RF antennas and circuits.
- Allows you to visualize the relationship between frequency and propagation distance.
- Employed in wireless engineering, radars and communications systems.
- Practical for training, research and development in RF electronics.
