Question

What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 10 m/s and has a frequency of 60 mhz? (1 mhz = 1,000,000 hz)?

Answer 1

V = 310 m/s
f = 60 MHz = 60 × 10^6 Hz
v = xf
x = v/f
x = 310/(60 × 10^6) m
x = 5.166667 × 10^(−6) m

Answer 2

Answer:

$\lambda = 5 m$

Explanation:

As we know the electromagnetic waves can travel through the vacuum with speed

$c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

now we also know that the frequency of the electromagnetic waves is given as

$f = 60 MHz$

so the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves is given as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

so it is given as

$\lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{60 \times 10^6 Hz}$

$\lambda = 5 m$
