Wavelength (mm) ≈ Velocity of wave (Mm/sec) / Frequency (GHz)
w = v / f
We know v will be 300 (rounded up based on the speed of light mentioned above). For f, we need to plug in the Wi-Fi frequency.
You could just use 2.4, but in order to be a little more accurate, we will use two more decimal places. For channel 6 in the 2.4GHz spectrum, we need to plug in 2.437. Solving for w yields ~123mm.
w = 300 Mm / 2.437 GHz
w = 123.102175
Now that we know the (w)avelength for our radio (f)requency, we can begin calculating the dimensions of the can based on the guidelines mentioned previously.
- gdprrrr 3y agoI know you quoted the article, but this equation > w = 300 Mm / 2.437 GHz Has the wrong unit for c, it's missing the "per second"
- Cerium 3y agoWe can change the units to mm*GHz, then the division by GHz cancels out and we end up with millimeters. I studied this in the USA, so the number we learned was 11.8 GHz*inches.
