Answer:

The wavelength of wave is 1.2×10³ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 250,000 Hz

wavelength of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

c = λ × f

λ = c/f

speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength is designated as "λ" and it is the measured in meter. It is the distance between the two crust of two trough.

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 250,000 Hz

Hz = s⁻¹

λ = 1.2×10³ m

The wavelength of wave is 1.2×10³ m.
