Question

97.3 FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 97.3 megahertz (97.6 x 106 Hz). These radio waves travel at a
speed of 3.00 x 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of these radio waves?
*Include your units!
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places).

Answer 1

The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave at the given frequency is 3.07 meters.

Given the following data:

• Frequency =$97.6 \times 10^6\; Hz$

• Speed = $3 \times 10^8\;m/s$

To determine the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave at the given frequency:

Mathematically, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is calculated by using the formula;

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

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Wavelength = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{97.6\times 10^{6}}$

Wavelength = 3.07 meters.
