A radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 1.5 × 108 Hz. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is a constant, 3.0 × 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of the radio wave?

Respuesta :

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency and its speed by the following relationship:
[tex]\lambda= \frac{c}{f} [/tex]
where [tex]c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex] is the speed of light, while f is the frequency of the wave.

In this problem, [tex]f=1.5 \cdot 10^8 Hz[/tex], therefore the wavelength of the wave is
[tex]\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.5 \cdot 10^8 Hz}=2.0 m [/tex]

Answer:

2.0 m
