Radio Engineer Formula
Radio and antenna engineers use the following simplified formula (also known as the Friis transmission equation) for the path loss between two isotropic antennas in free space:
Path loss in dB:
where is the path loss in decibels, is the wavelength and is the transmitter-receiver distance in the same units as the wavelength.

—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.”
