How are radio wavelengths measured?

In: Electrical Troubleshooting, Radio [Edit categories]

Answer:

The frequency, or number of cycles per second is measured, then divide the speed of light in meters per second (299,792,458) by frequency to get wavelength in meters.

Example:

7 Mhz = 7,000,000 hz

299792458 / 7000000 = 42.8 meters.
