About the units
Megahertz (MHz)
One million cycles per second. FM radio broadcasts between 88 and 108 MHz. One megahertz equals 1,000,000 hertz (Hz).
Meter (m)
The meter (m) is a unit of frequency to wavelength in the International System of Units (SI). It is inversely related to hertz: Hz = 299,792,458 ÷ value.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula to convert megahertz to meters?
m = 299.792458 ÷ MHz. Megahertz and meters are inversely related: when one goes up the other goes down. Divide 299.792458 by the value — do not multiply.
What is 5 megahertz in meters?
5 MHz = 59.9584916 m.
Why is this not a simple multiplication?
One unit measures the quantity directly and the other measures its inverse, so a larger value in one means a smaller value in the other. That is why the formula divides a constant by your value.
Is this MHz to m converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
