The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A VHF television station assigned to channel transmits its signal using radio waves with a frequency of 66.0 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: The wavelength of the radio waves is 4.54 m

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

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

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light

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

$\nu$ = frequency of light = $66.0MHz=66.0\times 10^6s^{-1}$

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{66.0\times 10^{6}s^{-1}}=4.54m$

Hence, the wavelength of the radio waves is 4.54 m
