Question

Delta College Public Radio broadcasts on a frequency of 90.1 megahertz (MHz). (Mega = million). What is the wavelength of the Delta College radio waves?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.23m

Explanation:

Using the formula, λ = v/f, the wavelength can be calculated

In λ = v/f

λ = wavelength (m)

v = speed of light (3 × 10^8m/s)

f = frequency (Hz)

Since frequency (f) is 90.1 megahertz (MHz) i.e. 90.1 × 10^6 Hz

9.01 × 10^7Hz

λ = v/f

λ = 3 × 10^8 ÷ 9.01 × 10^7

λ = 0.3229 × 10^(8-7)

λ = 0.3229 × 10¹

λ = 3.23m
