How do you convert frequency to wavelength?

Answer 1

Wavelength :- The distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions is known as the wavelength. Its SI unit is metre (m).

WAVELENGTH = SPEED OF SOUND/FREQUENCY OF SOUND

To find out the wave length, you can display it on an oscilloscope and measure it.

You can use a frequency counter and work out the length from the formula above.

Answer 2

Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of the medium.

c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius (68 dgrees Fahrenheit) or

c can be water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s.

c can be light waves or

c can be electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s.

The formulas are:

c = lambda x f

f = c / lambda

lambda = c / f

Answer 3

Wavelength times frequency equals the speed of light. So you can divide the speed of light, called "c", by the frequency in hertz to get the wavelength, or divide "c" by the wavelength to get the frequency.

Answer 4

Divide it into the speed of light at 300,000,000 metres per second.

To give the answer in Hertz (cycles/ second)

eg. A wavelength of 1500 metres

300,000,000 / 1500 = 200,000c/s or 200Kcs

A 3cm radar wave = 0.03m

300,000,000 / 0.03 = 10,000,000,000 Hz = 10Ghz
