Question

Ham radio operators often broadcast on the 6-meter band. The frequency of this electromagnetic radiation is MHz. [speed of light c=3.00 x 10^8 m/s].

Answer 1

Answer:

50 MHz

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Given, Wavelength = 6 m

Thus, Frequency is:

$Frequency=\frac{c}{Wavelength}$

$Frequency=\frac{3\times 10^8}{6}\ Hz$

$Frequency=50\times 10^{6}\ Hz$

Also,

Also, 1 Hz = $10^{-6}$ MHz

So, Frequency = 50 MHz.
