Frequency UnitsWavelength Units
G = GHz
M = MHz
k = kHz
H = Hz
#VALUE indicates
invalid units entered

k = km
m = m
mm = mm
n = nautical mile
s = statute mile
f = foot
i = inch

 


Hummer H2 (189.8 in) = 62.2 MHz

 


Golden Gate Bridge (6,450 ft) = 153 kHz

 


Earth Equatorial Diameter (7,926 mi) = 23.5 Hz

Wavelength and frequency are related by the following formula:

c = λ * ν * √εr,

where  c = speed of light       
   λ = wavelength
ν = frequency
               εr = relative permittivity

Here are some familiar objects and their
equivalent wavelength-related frequencies in air:
 


0402 Surface Mount Capacitor (0.040 in) = 295 GHz

 


Ticonderoga #2 Wooden Pencil (7.5") = 1.57 GHz

 


Meter Stick (1 m) = 300 MHz




Boeing 747-400 (231'10") = 4.24 MHz

 


Channel Tunnel, "Chunnel" (37 km) = 8.10 kHz
