A certain FM radio station broadcasts electromag-

netic waves at a frequency of 60,050,000 Hz. These
waves travel at a velocity of 30,000,000 m/s. What is
the wavelength of these radio waves?
v = λ x f

λ = v/f f=v/λ

Answer:

0.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find wavelength (λ) : apply the formula

  • λ = wave speed (v) / frequency (f)

Solving :

  • λ = 30,000,000 m/s / 60,050,000 Hz
  • λ = 0.5 m (approximately)
