What is RF Wavelength?
RF wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of a radio frequency electromagnetic wave. It represents the spatial period of the wave and is inversely related to frequency.
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is fundamental in electromagnetic theory: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
Key Points:
- Wavelength (λ) is measured in meters, centimeters, millimeters, or smaller units
- Frequency (f) is measured in Hertz (Hz), with common units being MHz and GHz
- The speed of light (c) in vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 m/s
- In different mediums, the wavelength changes but frequency remains constant
