What is the wavelength of a radar signal that
has a frequency of 30 GHz? The speed of light
is 3 × 10^8 m/s.
Answer in units of m
Giving me the formula is just fine
freq*wavelength=speedlight
do I have to convert GHz?
The formula to calculate wavelength is given by:
Wavelength = Speed of Light / Frequency
In this case, the frequency is given as 30 GHz (30 × 10^9 Hz) and the speed of light is 3 × 10^8 m/s.
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula to calculate the wavelength:
Wavelength = (3 × 10^8 m/s) / (30 × 10^9 Hz)
Simplifying the expression:
Wavelength = (1/10) × (3 × 10^8 m)
Multiplying:
Wavelength = 3 × 10^7 m
Therefore, the wavelength of a radar signal with a frequency of 30 GHz is 3 × 10^7 meters.
