- 1). Key "300,000,000" into your calculator. This is the speed of light in meters per second.
- 2). Press the divide key. Enter the gigahertz frequency you want to convert to wavelength. For example, key in "2.45," the gigahertz frequency of a microwave oven. Press the equals key "=."
- 3). Press the divide key again. Enter "1,000,000,000." Press the equals key "=." The answer is the frequency's wavelength in meters. Following the example, a microwave oven with a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz works out to 0.122 meters, or 12.2 centimeters.
