The broadcast wavelength of radio waves is \fbox{3.38\,{\text{m}}} or \fbox{338\,{\text{cm}}}.

Further Explanation:

Radio waves are one of the types of the electromagnetic radiation. It travels with the speed of light in vacuum. The range of frequency of radio waves is very large ranging from 30\,{\text{Hz}} - 300\,{\text{GHz}}.

Radio waves are used to transmitting the signal over a large distance on the Earth. Radio waves can go beyond the line of sight through diffraction and reflection. Radio waves are non ionizing radiation. They have not sufficient energy to separate electrons from atoms or molecules.

Transmitters are used to generating radio waves artificially and antennas are used to receiving the waves.

Given:

The frequency of radio waves is 88.7\,{\text{MHz}}.  

Concept:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength given by:

\fbox{\begin\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\end{minispace}}

Here, c is the speed of light, f is the frequency of radio waves, and \lambda is the wavelength of radio waves.

Substitute 88.7 \times {10^6}\,{\text{Hz}} for f and 3 \times {10^8}\text{ m}/\text{s} for c in above equation.

\begin{aligned}\lambda&=\frac{{3\times{{10}^8}\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}}}{{88.7\times{{10}^6}\,{\text{Hz}}}}\\&=3.38\,{\text{m}}\\&= 338}}\,{\text{cm}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the broadcast wavelength of the radio station is \fbox{3.38\,{\text{m}}}.

The frequency of the radio station is
f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
