Answer:

1.875 × 10^6 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

From the wave formula;

V= λf

λ= wavelength of the radio waves

f= frequency of the radio waves

f= v/λ

Since radio waves is an electromagnetic wave, it possesses the speed of light which is 3 × 10^8 m/s

f= 3 × 10^8 m/s/160 m

f= 1.875 × 10^6 Hz
