use the simple equation
speed=frequency x wavelength
speed is the speed of light, you have given frequency
the answer is 0.353m

the working equation is l x v = c; where l is wavelength, v is frequency, c is the speed of light.
Your given (850 MHz) is a frequency. So first, convert 850 MHz to Hz, that is 850MHz=8.5 x 10^8 Hz. Then, divide c by your frequency. The value for c is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. You will get l approximately equal to 0.35 m.

492 / F(MHz) will give half wavelength in feet. Double this number to determine full wavelength.
It works out to 1' 1.89", or about 35.3cm.

v=fλ
v= speed of light = 3x10^8
f=850x10^6
λ=v/f
3x10^8/850x10^6=0.35m
