What is the wavelength of a broadcast frequency of 992 kHz?
-a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer frequency of 400 MHz
-radiation that has a frequency of 5.2x10^14(s^-1)
speed of light = wavelength x frequency
speed of light must be in m/s, wavelength in m and frequency in Hz.
To find the wavelength of a given frequency, you can use the following equation:
Wavelength = Speed of Light / Frequency
The speed of light is a constant value of approximately 3x10^8 meters per second.
For the first case:
Frequency = 992 kHz = 992,000 Hz
Wavelength = (3x10^8 m/s) / (992,000 Hz)
For the second case:
Frequency = 400 MHz = 400,000,000 Hz
Wavelength = (3x10^8 m/s) / (400,000,000 Hz)
For the third case:
Frequency = 5.2x10^14 s^-1
Wavelength = (3x10^8 m/s) / (5.2x10^14 s^-1)
By applying the formula and performing the calculations, you will get the respective wavelengths for the given frequencies.
