The frequency of the wave is 4 Hz

Explanation:

The relationship between wave, frequency and speed of a wave is given by the equation:

$v=f \lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem, we have:

$v=60 cm/s$ is the speed

$\lambda=15 cm$ is the wavelength

Solving the equation for f, we find its frequency:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{60 cm/s}{15 s}=4 s^{-1} = 4 Hz$

Explanation:

In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

Convert the speed of light 3.0x10^8 m/s to km/day

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: $2.592 \times 10^{8}km/day$

$1 m = 0.001 km\\ 1 s= 1.157\times10^{-5} days\\ 1 m/s = \frac {0.001}{1.157\times10^{-5}} km/day = 86.4 km/day \\ 3.0\times 10^{8} m/s = 3.0\times 10^{8} m/s \times \frac {86.4 km/day}{1m/s} =2.592 \times 10^{8}km/day$
