Question

A television is tuned to a station broadcasting at a frequency of 2.04 * 108 Hz. For best reception, the rabbit-ear antenna used by the TV should be adjusted to have a tip-to-tip length equal to half a wavelength of the broadcast signal. Find the optimum length of the antenna.

Answer 1

L= 0.75m

Step-by-step explanation:

To develop the exercise we need to use the Frequency equation, so,

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

`f= (c)/(2L)`

`L= (c)/(2f)`

`L = (3*10^8m/s)/(2*(2.04*10^8Hz))`

`L= 0.75m`
