Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the medium wave speed is considered if not working in vacuum for accuracy.
Use the tool for electromagnetic waves compatible with the wavelength-frequency relationship.
Apply conversions as a way to bridge wavelength measurements with ultra-high frequency analysis.
Validate results especially when extrapolating beyond typical centimetre-scale wavelength contexts.

Limitations

Conversion assumes wave propagation in vacuum or a medium with a known wave speed.
Frequency values at the exahertz scale correspond to wavelengths far smaller than centimetres, so applying this conversion involves extrapolation.
Medium properties can affect wave speed and thus frequency accuracy beyond typical centimetre wavelengths.
