The Wavelength calculator computes the length of a wave based on the velocity of the wave (v) and the frequency (f).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Wavelength (λ): The wavelength is returned in meters. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The formula for the wavelength based on velocity and frequency is:
λ = v/f
