Question

What is the wavelength of a radio wave that has a frequency of 9.40 X 10^8Hz?
3.1

Answer 1

671nm

Step-by-step explanation:
Wavelength relates to frequency as follows:
λ
=
v
f

in which
f
is the frequency,
v
is the speed of light, and
λ
is the wavelength.
Filling this in for the example:
v
=
3
⋅

8
m
s

f
=
4.47
⋅

H
z
=
4.47
⋅

s
−

λ
=

So the wavelength is:
