App description

\(F= \frac {C}{λ } \)

  • F = frequency
  • C = speed of light
  • λ = wavelength

Frequency is a measure of the number of repeated events per unit of time.

The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz), named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. Hertz is one cycle per second, 100 Hz, one hundred Hz, etc.

The wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a given frequency wave. The symbol λ can be used as the wavelength. Examples of ripple phenomena are light, water waves and sound waves.

The wavelength can be any length unit, such as meters, feet, centimeters, etc.

The speed of light in a vacuum is an important physical constant, using the letter C as a constant.

In metric units, the speed of light in a vacuum is 299792458 meters per second (1079252848.8 km/h), an approximation of 3×108 m/s in inch, and the speed of light is 983571056 feet per second per second. About 67,061,262, 9.2 miles, which is about 186,282.397 miles per second, about one foot per nanosecond.

Usage example

Enter the value and click "Calculate" to display the result

Input data: 10, click: cm

Result: Wavelength = 10cm converted to frequency = 2.9979e+9hz=2.9979e+6khz=2.9979e+3mhz

Note

Light speed C=3×108m/s
