Question

A radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 9.67 x 10's. What is the wavelength of the radio broadcast waves?

Answer 1

The wavelength of the waves broadcasted is 3.1023

Explanation:

9.67× 10⁶ is taken as 96.7 MHz

We know that,

Velocity of the wave = Frequency × wavelength.

Here the wave are electromagnetic in nature and travel with velocity

V = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

So, the wavelength = velocity / frequency

  =  $\frac{3* 10^{8} }{96.7 MHz}$

 = $\frac{3 * 10^{8} }{96.7 * 10^{6} }$

 = 3.1023 m

Thus, the wavelength of the waves broadcasted is 3.1023 m
