1. Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.


Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 /
2.0 x 10^6

Wavelength = 150 m
