Frequency Wavelength Converter

Frequency Wavelength Converter

Our Frequency Wavelength Converter provides accurate conversions between frequency and wavelength units used in optics and electromagnetic wave analysis. Whether you're working with radio waves, visible light, X-rays, or any other electromagnetic radiation, this tool delivers precise results instantly using the speed of light relationship.

Supported Unit Categories:

• Frequency Units: Hertz (Hz), Kilohertz (kHz), Megahertz (MHz), Gigahertz (GHz), Terahertz (THz), Petahertz (PHz)
• Wavelength Units: Meter (m), Centimeter (cm), Millimeter (mm), Micrometer (μm), Nanometer (nm), Picometer (pm)
• Specialized Units: Angstrom (Å), Micron (μ), Millimicron (mμ)
• Electromagnetic Spectrum: Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Common Conversions:

• 500 THz = 600 nm (visible light - orange/red)
• 550 nm = 544.5 THz (visible light - green)
• 2.4 GHz = 124.9 mm (WiFi frequency)
• 10 μm = 29.98 THz (infrared radiation)
• 100 MHz = 299.8 cm (FM radio frequency)
• 100 Å = 29.98 PHz (X-ray wavelength)

How to Use:

1. Enter the value you want to convert in the input field
2. Select the source unit from the "From" dropdown
3. Select the target unit from the "To" dropdown
4. View the converted result instantly
5. Use the swap button to quickly reverse the conversion

Applications:

This frequency wavelength converter is essential for physicists, engineers, astronomers, telecommunications professionals, and anyone working with electromagnetic radiation. It's particularly useful for optical design, radio frequency engineering, spectroscopy, astronomy, medical imaging, and scientific research involving electromagnetic waves.

Physics Behind the Conversion:

The conversion uses the fundamental relationship: c = λ × f, where c is the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s), λ is wavelength, and f is frequency. This relationship applies to all electromagnetic waves in a vacuum.
