A radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 1.5 × 108 hz. the speed of an electromagnetic wave is a constant, 3.0 × 108 m/s. what is the wavelength of the radio wave?
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for a wave is given by: [tex]\lambda= \frac{c}{f} [/tex] where [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength c is the speed of light f is the frequency
Using the data of the problem, we can find the wavelength of the radio wave: [tex]\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.5 \cdot 10^8 Hz}=2 m [/tex]
