Question

An FM radio station transmits a signal with a frequency of 89.1 MHz. Give the wavelength in meters. (use at least three significant digits)

Answer 1

Answer:

3m

Explanation:

89.1 MHz means

89.1×10^6 cycles/second.

Electromagnetic radiation (including radio waves) travel at

3.0×10^8meters/second

Wavelength = Speed/Frequency

The wavelength of a

89.1MHz radio signal is

3.0×10^8/89.1x10^6

= 0.03x10^2

= 3meters
