Question

Sometimes hikers carry radio beacons so that search and rescue teams can find them in case of emergency. Some of these beacons transmit radio waves with a frequency of 300,000 Hz. (300kHz) What is the wavelength of these waves?

Answer 1

1000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of radio waves f = 300,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of these waves.

The formula to find wavelength is as follows :

`c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=(c)/(f)\\\\\lambda=(3* 10^8)/(300000)\\\\\lambda=1000\ m`

So, the wavelength of these waves is 1000 m.
