Frequency to Wavelength Converter

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the frequency value in the appropriate field.
2. Select the frequency unit from the dropdown menu (Hz, kHz, MHz, or GHz).
3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the wavelength.
4. The result will be displayed in the most appropriate unit (meters, millimeters, micrometers, or nanometers).
5. You can reset the form by clicking the "Reset" button.

Working Principle

The relationship between frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) is given by the formula λ = c/f, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 299,792,458 meters per second).

This calculator uses this formula to calculate the wavelength based on the input frequency. The result is automatically converted to the most appropriate unit for readability.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields including:

• Telecommunications engineering
• Radio wave propagation studies
• Optics and photonics
• Acoustics
• Electromagnetic spectrum analysis

Note: For extremely high frequencies, the wavelength becomes very small and is typically measured in nanometers or micrometers.
