How do you convert meters to hertz?

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, if somebody just looked at the words in your question, the plain answer would be "You don't; these units measure different quantities."

But I suspect that you're thinking about frequency and wavelength of radio stations, light, or x-rays. Maybe even sound waves, which also have frequency and wavelength. If that's what you're thinking about then the conversion is easy:

(Wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency), and (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength)

Just remember that the speed and wavelength must both be in the same units to do the arithmetic.

Examples:

1). I'm a ham radio operator and I enjoy operating in the 10-meter amateur band. What frequency do I transmit when I do that ?

The speed of light (and radio and all other electromagnetic radiation) is about 300 million meters per second.

Frequency = speed / wavelength = 300,000,000 / 10 = 30,000,000 Hertz = 30 MEGA Hz

2). I work with microwave radio equipment at operates at around 6 GHz (6 billion Hertz). What's the wavelength ?

Wavelength = speed / frequency = 300,000,000 / 6,000,000,000 = 0.05 meters = 5 centimeters

3). My sister teaches children to play the Flute. When the flute plays a sustained 'A' note ... with frequency 440 Hz ... what is the wavelength of the sound in the room ?

Speed of sound = roughly 1125 ft per second depending on temperature and other things.

Wavelength = speed / frequency = 1125 / 440 = 2.56 feet

Answer 2

Meters are a unit of length and hertz is a unit of frequency. There is no direct conversion between meters and hertz because they are measuring different physical quantities.

Answer 3

Hertz is a measure of cycles per second. meter is the measure of length.therefore you cannot convert from hertz to meters or vice versa
