Question

An fm radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 100.6 mhz. the wavelength of this radiation is ________ m.

Answer 1

The wavelength would be 2.980044314115. Reduced it would be 2.980 or just 2.98.

Answer 2

Answer: The wavelength of radiation is 2.98 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

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

where,

`\lambda` = wavelength of the radiation = ?

c = speed of light =
`2.998* 10^8m/s`

`\\u` = frequency of radiation =
`100.6MHz=100.6* 10^6Hz=100.6* 10^6s^(-1)` (Conversion factor:
`1MHz=10^6Hz` )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`\lambda=(2.998* 10^8m/s)/(100.6* 10^6s^(-1))=2.98m`

Hence, the wavelength of radiation is 2.98 m
