Question

What is the distance from one peak to the next peak called?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. wavelength

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data.

The distance from one peak to the next peak is called wavelength. This distance is also equal to the distance from one trough of a wave to another.

Mathematically, wavelength is calculated using this formula;

$Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}$
