Usage Instructions

To use the Wave Frequency Calculator, follow these steps:
- Input Wavelength (λ): Enter the numerical value for the wavelength in the provided input field.
- Select Wavelength Unit: Choose the appropriate unit (e.g., metres, nanometres, miles) from the dropdown menu.
- Observe Results: The calculator automatically computes and displays:
- Period (T): The time taken for one wave cycle in various time units.
- Frequency (f): The number of wave cycles per second in different frequency scales.
- Change Units if Needed: Adjust the unit dropdown for the results to see the values converted instantly.
The calculator dynamically updates results whenever you change inputs or units, eliminating the need for a "calculate" button.

Case-Study Examples

Example 1: Radio Wave in FM Broadcasting (India)

A typical FM radio wave in India has a wavelength of 3.41 metres.
- Input Wavelength: 3.41
- Select Unit: Metres (m)
- Results:
Frequency (f): ~88 MHz (Megahertz)
Period (T): ~11.36 nanoseconds (ns)

Example 2: Light Wave in Optics

A green light wave with a wavelength of 550 nanometres (nm):
- Input Wavelength: 550
- Select Unit: Nanometres (nm)
- Results:
Frequency (f): ~545.45 THz (Terahertz)
Period (T): ~1.83 femtoseconds (fs)

These examples highlight the calculator’s versatility across domains like telecommunications and optics.

Notes

- This calculator assumes a constant wave speed of 299,792,458 m/s (speed of light in a vacuum) for all computations.
- Ensure the input units are correctly selected to avoid discrepancies in results.
- Results are dynamically formatted in the Indian decimal system for easier interpretation.
