What is the formula for converting frequency to approximate wavelength in meters?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Wavelength in meters equals 300 divided by frequency in megahertz
To find wavelength in meters, divide 300 by the frequency in megahertz. For example, 146 MHz gives about 2 meters. The 300 comes from the speed of light, 300 million meters per second.
Tip: Wavelength (m) = 300 / MHz. Example: 300 / 50 = 6 m.
