The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula:

Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave.

For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).

Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength)

or

Frequency = (1) divided by (period of the wave)

wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequency)

frequency = (wave speed) / (wavelength)

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
