Question
Microwaves travel at the speed of light, $3.00 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ When the frequency of microwaves is $9.00 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Hz}$ what is their wavelength?
Step 1
00 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m/s}$ and the frequency of the microwaves $f = 9.00 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Hz}$. We are asked to find the wavelength $\lambda$. Show more…

Microwaves travel at the speed of light, $3.00 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ When the frequency of microwaves is $9.00 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Hz}$, what is their wavelength? (See Sample Problem 12D.)
What is the wavelength of the microwaves transmitted by a cell phone at 900 MHz? (Microwaves travel at $\left.3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .\right)$
Given the speed of light as $3.00 \times 10^{8} {m} / {s}$ , calculatete the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation whose frequency is $7.500 \times 10^{12} {Hz}$
