A certain radio wave has a frequency of 2.0 * 10^6 Hz.
what is its wavelength?
The wave equation applies:
frequency*wavelength=speedoflight
2000000Hz
To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you can use the formula:
Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) / Frequency (f)
The speed of light is approximately 3.0 * 10^8 meters per second (m/s). In this case, the frequency (f) is given as 2.0 * 10^6 Hz.
Substituting these values into the formula:
Wavelength = (3.0 * 10^8 m/s) / (2.0 * 10^6 Hz)
To simplify it, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 10^6:
Wavelength = (3.0 * 10^2 m) / (2.0 Hz)
Now, divide the numerator by 2.0:
Wavelength = 1.5 * 10^2 m
Therefore, the wavelength of the radio wave is 150 meters.
