Calculate the wavelength of each frequency of electromagnetic radiation: a. 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasti
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

c = \lambda \cdot \nu  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency.  

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, \lambda can be isolated from equation 1:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} (2)

since the value of c is 3x10^{8}m/s. It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 100200000Hz

But 1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 100200000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 2.99 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz} ⇒ 1070000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 1070000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 280.3 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 835600000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 835600000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 0.35 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Which type of waves from the electromagnetic spectrum are used in heat lamps and heat sensing devices?
Alex73 [517]
Infrared waves are used in heat lamps and other heat sensing devices. Infrared waves or commonly known as Infrared radiations (IR) is the type of electromagnetic radiation we encounter most in our everyday life. Heat lamps are electrical devices which emit infrared radiation.
