An FM radio station, 20 miles away, broadcast at a 93.4 MHz frequency(a) What is the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal ?(b) How long does it take for the signal to reach your radio from the station ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Wavelength = 3.21 m (b) Time = [tex]1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of FM radio station, f = 93.4 MHz

(a) We need to find the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal. The relation between wavelength and frequency is given by :

[tex]c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{93.4\times 10^6}\\\\\lambda=3.21\ m[/tex]

(b) It is given that, an FM radio station, 20 miles away. Let t is time taken for signal to reach your radio from the station. So,

[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{20\times 1609.34}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
