Question

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 x 10^8 m/s and has a frequency of 60 mhz? (1 mhz = 1,000,000 hz)?

Answer 1

5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of wave = 3 x 10⁸m/s

Frequency = 60mhz = 60 x 10⁶Hz

Unknown:

wavelength = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

we use the expression:

V = F ∧

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

Now insert the parameters and solve;

3 x 10⁸ = 60 x 10⁶ x ∧

So;

∧ = 5m
