How It's Calculated

Frequency Conversion

The conversion between frequency units (Hertz, Kilohertz, etc.) uses Hertz (Hz) as the base unit and factors of 1000. The formula is:

Final Value = (Initial Value × Source Factor) / Target Factor

Frequency ⇔ Wavelength

The relationship between frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) is defined by the speed of light (c), a universal constant. The main formula is:

Wavelength (λ) = c / Frequency (f)

For the calculation, the frequency is first converted to its value in Hertz (Hz). Then, the formula is applied, using the value of `c` as `299,792,458 m/s`. The result, obtained in meters, is finally converted to the desired wavelength unit (cm, km, etc.).
