a radio station broadcasts its radio signals at 9.26 x 10⁷ Hz. find the wavelength if the waves travel at 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s
Answer (1)
Answer:Find the wavelength (λ), use the wave speed equation:v = λfwhere:v = wave speed (m/s) = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/sf = frequency (Hz) = 9.26 x 10⁷ HzRearrange the equation to solve for λ:λ = v / f= (3.00 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9.26 x 10⁷ Hz)[tex] \color{red}\approx 3.24 \: \text{meters}[/tex]The wavelength of the radio signals is approximately 3.24 meters.
