### Relationship between frequency and wavelength You will need to know how to convert from one to another. You will be allowed the chart below in the written assessment room so don't worry about it. The conversion from wavelength to frequency is very easy. Let me show you
This is the chart similar to the one you will be given in the written assessment. Wavelength is marked down the left hand side and the Frequency along the bottom. Now if I asked you what frequency does 2m equal how would you go about it. Think for a moment before looking below. |
Well the way I would do it is to draw a line from the 2 on the left hand side until it crosses the diagonal line and then draw a line down to the frequency number at the bottom. I have done this using a dotted line. Then we have to judge what frequencies it would be as there is no number. Well it is about 150Mhz. and that is near enough for the conversion. Calculations are not required for the exercise just an interpretation of the chart. |
