The radio waves are electromagnetic wave, so it travels with velocity of light i.e .
We can use the relation between frequency, wavelength and speed as
Here c is speed of light, is wavelength and f is frequency and its value is given 99.90 FM, it is actually in megahertz (i.e 99.90 MHz).
Therefore,
.
Thus, the broadcast wavelength of the given radio station is 3.003 m.
Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
