wavelength of the EM wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>

When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ, is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

= 1/3 m = 0.333 m
