To convert frequency from megahertz (MHz) to wavelength, you can use the following formula:

Wavelength (in meters) = Speed of Light (in meters per second) / Frequency (in hertz)

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. However, in other mediums, such as air or water, the speed of light is slightly different. For most practical purposes, you can use the speed of light in a vacuum.

Here's an example of how to convert MHz to wavelength:

Let's say you have a frequency of 100 MHz.

Wavelength = 299,792,458 m/s / 100,000,000 Hz Wavelength ≈ 2.99792 meters

So, a frequency of 100 MHz corresponds to a wavelength of approximately 2.99792 meters.

Keep in mind that this formula assumes you're dealing with electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves or light, where the speed of light is relevant. It may not be applicable for other types of waves, such as sound waves.
