Question

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is 1.0 x 105 Hz. Calculate the wavelength in meters. Show your work,
and be sure to keep track of the units.

Answer 1

Answer:

wavelength = 3000 m

Explanation:

We use the formula for the relationship between the speed (c), frequency (v), and wavelength $(\lambda)$:

$c=\lambda\,*\,\nu\\300000000 \,\,m/s = \lambda\,*100000 \,\,1/s\\\lambda \,=\,3000\,\,m$
