Wavelength in meters to Cycle per second Converter

Use this page to convert wavelength in meters values into cycle per second, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Conversion formula

This conversion uses an offset formula rather than a single multiplier because the temperature scales start from different zero points.

m wavelength to cycle/s: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.

Example: 1000000000 m wavelength = 0.299792458 cycle/s

Wavelength in meters

Frequency in hertz equals the speed of light divided by wavelength in meters.

History: Frequency and wavelength are linked by the speed of light in vacuum.

Current use: Used for optics, radio, electromagnetic waves, and wave calculations.

Also written as m wavelength, meter wavelength, metre wavelength, wavelength meters.

Cycle per second

One cycle per second is equal to one hertz.

History: Cycles per second was common before hertz became the formal SI name.

Current use: Used mainly for legacy frequency references.

Also written as cycle/s, cycles per second, cps.
