A communications satellite transmits a radio wave at a frequency of 9.4 x 10^9 Hz. What is the signal’s wavelength? Assume the w

sergejj [24]

To calculate this we will use the light equation:
$c=$ λ $*f$

We have Frequency $f=9.4* 10^{9}Hz$ .
We know that speed of light in vacuum is $c =3.8* 10^{8} m/s$ .
Since a unit of speed of light is m/s, we can change the unit of frequency Hz to 1/s, since Hz means cycles per second (f=1/T).

So:
$f=9.4* 10^{9}1/s$
 $c =3.8* 10^{8} m/s$

 $c=$ λ $*f$
⇒ λ $= \frac{c}{f}$
⇒ λ $= \frac{3.8* 10^{8}}{9.4* 10^{9}}$
⇒ λ $=0.04 m$

Around December 21

The sun's most direct rays reach farthest north or south of the equator, around December 21. This is the period of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, where the Earth is tilted away from the sun. At this time it's summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
