A radio station has a frequency of 101.9 mega hertz. What is the wavelength in meters of the waves the ones from its radio tower
1 answer:
Answer:
2.944 m
Explanation:
Frequency of radio waves, f = 101.9 mega Hertz
Convert the mega Hertz into Hertz
As we know that 1 mega Hertz = 10^6 Hz
f = 101.9 x 10^6 Hz
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, so the speed of radio waves is equal to the speed of light in vacuum.
v = c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
The relation between the frequency and wavelength is given by
v = f x λ
where, λ be the wavelength
λ = 2.944 m

The energy found at point (1) is the energy delivered to 100 cells. The radius of each cell is
So the area of each cell is
The energy is spread over 100 cells, so the total area of the cells is
And so the intensity delivered is

The average intensity of an electromagnetic wave is related to the maximum value of the electric field by
where
c is the speed of light
is the vacuum permittivity
E is the amplitude of the electric field
Solving the formula for E, we find:
