Frequency to Wavelength

λ = v / f

Default is speed of light in vacuum

How to Use This Calculator

Enter frequency in hertz and optionally adjust wave speed (m/s). For light in vacuum, keep v = c. Click Calculate to get wavelength.

Formula

λ = v / f

Where v is the wave speed in the medium, and f is frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does wavelength depend on medium?

Yes. Wave speed changes by medium, so wavelength changes; frequency stays the same.
