EM Wavelength & Frequency Converters
Convert between frequency and wavelength units using the speed of light in vacuum for consistent electromagnetic calculations.
Explanation
This hub converts between electromagnetic frequency and wavelength assuming propagation in vacuum. Frequency and wavelength are linked by c = lambda * f, so cross-type conversions use the inverse relationship through the fixed speed of light constant.
How to use this hub
- Choose a converter family.
- If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
- For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.
If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are wavelength and frequency related?
They are inversely related through c = lambda * f, using c = 299792458 m/s in vacuum.
Are all conversions simple multiplication?
No. Same-type conversions are multiplicative, while wavelength<->frequency pairs use the inverse c/lambda or c/f relationship.
Can I use decimal values?
Yes. Decimal values are supported for practical RF, microwave, and optical scale work.
