Answer:

Frequency, f = 24 MHz

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of radio station,
\lambda=12.5\ m

We need to find the frequency of radio waves corresponds to this wavelength. We know that the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :


c=f* \lambda


f=(c)/(\lambda)


f=(3* 10^8\ m/s)/(12.5\ m)


f=24* 10^6\ Hz

or

f = 24 MHz

So, the frequency of the radio waves is 24 MHz. Hence, this is the required solution.
