Question

What is the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at a frequency of 99.5 MHz

Answer 1

Wavelength,
`\lambda=3.01\ m`

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f = 99.5 MHz = 99.5 × 10⁶ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at above frequency. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

`c=f\lambda`

`\lambda=(c)/(f){`

c = speed of light

`\lambda=(3* 10^8\ m/s)/(99.5* 10^6\ Hz)`

`\lambda=3.01\ m`

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station is 3.01 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
