Frequency and Time relation

The time interval for 1° of phase is inversely proportional to the frequency. If the frequency of a signal is given by f, then the time tdeg (in seconds) corresponding to 1° of phase is tdeg = 1 / (360f) = T / 360. 

Therefore, a 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz signal corresponds to a time shift of 555 picoseconds.


The wavelength (λ) of that mass-energy wave is directly proportional to the time period (T) of the wave derives the equation λ∝T, we get the wave corresponds to time shift, e.g. 1° phase shift on a 5 MHz wave corresponds to a time shift of 555 picoseconds. 
  • t=1/f.
    f = 5000000 Hz; 1° phase shift = t/360.
    tdeg = (1/f)/360 = (1/5000000)/360
    = (5.55x10^-10) = 555 Picosecond.
This, one can experimentally observe in an electronic laboratory while measuring gravitational effect on piezoelectric crystals. This is called wavelength dilation - when gravitational effect is less.
