Notes
About Frequency / Wavelength Calculator
Features
- Solves whichever value you leave blank
- Hz, kHz, MHz and GHz
- m, cm, mm and km
- Presets for light (299,792,458 m/s) and sound (343 m/s)
- Custom velocity for cables and other media
How to Use
- Enter any two of frequency, wavelength and velocity.
- Pick the units, and a velocity preset if needed.
- Read the solved third value.
Examples
Example: 100 MHz in free space -> a wavelength of 2.9979 m.
Benefits
- Antenna and cable-length work without manual unit juggling
- Custom velocity covers real media, not just vacuum
