Answer:

2.67×10² m

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying

V = λf............... Equation 1

Where V = Velocity of radio wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = V/f................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 2.99×10⁸ m/s, f = 1.12×10⁶ Hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = (2.99×10⁸)/(1.12×10⁶)

λ = 2.66696×10² m

λ ≈ 2.67×10² m
