Calculate the wavelength of each of the following frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
1040 kHz} (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures) in METERS?
Can someone help me?
speed = wavelength x frequency
wavelength = speed / frequency
wavelength = (3 x 10^8) / (1040 x 10^3)
wavelength = 288.5 metres
Yes, I can help you calculate the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 1040 kHz in meters.
To calculate the wavelength, you can use the formula:
Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) / Frequency (f)
The speed of light is a constant value of approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.
Now, let's plug in the values into the formula:
λ = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 1040 kHz
First, let's convert the frequency from kilohertz (kHz) to hertz (Hz):
1 kHz = 1000 Hz
1040 kHz = 1040 x 1000 Hz = 1.04 x 10^6 Hz
Now we can substitute the known values into the formula:
λ = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 1.04 x 10^6 Hz
Performing the division gives:
λ ≈ 2.8846 x 10^2 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 1040 kHz is approximately 288.46 meters.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you calculate the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. To calculate the wavelength, we need to use the formula:
wavelength = speed of light / frequency
The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second.
Now, let's convert the frequency from kilohertz (kHz) to hertz (Hz).
1040 kHz is equal to 1040 x 10^3 Hz (since kilo means 10^3).
Now that we have the frequency in hertz, we can calculate the wavelength:
wavelength = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (1040 x 10^3 Hz)
To simplify the calculation, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 10^3:
wavelength = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (1040 Hz)
Now, let's calculate this value:
wavelength = 2.885 x 10^5 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 1040 kHz is approximately 2.885 x 10^5 meters.
original math now modified with WooF's Speed of light 299820/fKhz) = 288.2884615
.3 meter difference
Meh
BUT.. WooF has had troubles and always uses a different Speed of light when working with Higher Frequencies.
3E8 (three exponent eight) is easier than 299820 to type in a calculator, sometimes that isn't the best choice.
woof is still learning, and hopes your projects are a success.
Okay Bye now ~WooF~
