 Radio Wavelengths and
Frequencies
Propagation Speed of Radio waves is
equal to the speed of light.
Aproximately 300,000 km/sec

Or 300,000,000 meters/sec
 Formula
C = f x Lambda
C = Propagation speed of radio
waves(Speed of light)
f = Frequency = Period of cycle. The time it
takes for a wave to move from zero to 360
degrees
Lambda = Wavelength = the distance from
one wave top to another.
f = Period
Lambda of cycle. The
= Wavelength = thetime it takes
distance for
from
a one
wave to move
wave top to from zero to 360
another.

 Unit of Measurement

Hertz
Or

Hz
The Unit used for measuring frequency is HERTZ,
Symbolized by Hz
 Example 1

1 THz (Terra Hz) = 1,000,000,000,000 Hz

1 GHz (Giga Hz) = 1,000,000,000 Hz
1 MHz (Mega Hz) = 1,000,000 Hz
1 KHz (Kilo Hz) = 1,000 Hz
Example 2

Ch 70
=
156.525 MHz
=
156,525 KHz
=
156,525,000 Hz
 Example 3

Convert 125 MHz to kHz

=

125 000 kHz

125 000 000 Hz

 Example 4

Convert 12.5 MHz to Hz

=

12 500 kHz

12 500 000 Hz
