AY 2020-2021 SEM-1 CHAPTER-2 WAVE MOTION 6. Radio waves travel 38000 km from a satellite to Oman radio station. If the wave frequency is 30 MHz, calculate the wavelength of the radio waves and find the number of wavelengths the radio wave cover while going from the satellite to the radio station $\lambda = 10$ m, number of waves$= 3.8 \times 10^5$ wave}

Step 1
To calculate the total distance covered by the radio waves, we need to multiply the wavelength by the number of waves. Given that the wavelength is 10m and the number of waves is 3.8x10^wave, we can calculate the total distance as follows: Total distance = Show more…
