Announcers at a certain radio station say that they are at "95 FM on your dial," meaning that they transmit at a frequency of 95 MHz (95 megahertz, or 95 million cycles per second). What is the wavelength of the radio waves from this station

Answer:


\lambda=3.15\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency of the FM,
f=95\ MHz=95* 10^6\ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from this station. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :


\lambda=(c)/(f)

c is the speed of light


\lambda=(3* 10^8\ m/s)/(95* 10^6\ Hz)


\lambda=3.15\ m

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from this station is 3.15 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
