Some radio waves of frequency of about $1.5 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~Hz}$ was received by a radio-telescope from distant star. If the speed of the waves is $3 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{s}$, then the wave- length of the wave will be: (a) $0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ (b) $0.6 \mathrm{~m}$ (c) $0.2 \mathrm{~m}$ (d) $0.46 \mathrm{~m}$
Suppose you are standing $225 \mathrm{m}$ from a radio transmitter. What is your distance from the transmitter in terms of the number of wavelengths if (a) the station is broadcasting at $1150 \mathrm{kHz}$ (on the AM radio band)? $\left(1 \mathrm{kHz}=1 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Hz}\right)$ (b) the station is broadcasting at $98.1 \mathrm{MHz}$ (on the FM radio band)? $\left(1 \mathrm{MHz} \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}\right)$
Radiowaves received by a radio telescope from distant aparts, may have a wavelength of about $0.20 \mathrm{~m}$. If the speed of the wave is $3 \times 10^{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$, then frequency of the wave will be (a) $1.5 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~Hz}$ (b) $1.5 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~Hz}$ (c) $1.5 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Hz}$ (d) $135 \mathrm{~Hz}$
