If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is $1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

$c=f$ λ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

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

Plug in the values,

$\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.$

What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the diagram?

Marina86 [1]

The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.
