Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ  is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V /  λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Answer:

Based on  the passage, the article's claim is not true.  Therefore, the answer is:

No, because radio waves  have energies that are too  low to fall in the ionizing  range.

Explanation:

Radio waves are generally known as forms of non-ionizing radiation.  This means that they do not have enough energy, unlike microwaves, to separate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.  They cannot cause electron displacement, as claimed in the article.  Therefore, they cannot break chemical bonds, which can cause chemical reactions or DNA damage. As non-ionizing radiation, radio waves occur at lower frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
