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:
(1)
Where c is the speed of light, is the wavelength and
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, can be isolated from equation 1:
(2)
since the value of c is . It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.
⇒
But
Finally, equation 2 can be used:
Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.
