Question

The wavelength of radio waves sent out by an AM station is 600 meters (v = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s). At what frequency is the radio station broadcasting?

Answer 1

500,000 hertz

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength= 600 meters

Velocity(b) = 3 × 10^8

Frequency=?

Therefore the frequency can be calculated as follows

Velocity= frequency × wavelength

Frequency= 3 × 10^8/600

= 500,000 hertz

Hence the frequency is 500,000 hertz
