Question
The range of wavelengths allotted to the radio broadcast band is from about $190 \mathrm{m}$ to $550 \mathrm{m}$. If each station needs exclusive use of a frequency band $10 \mathrm{kHz}$ wide, how many stations can operate in the broadcast band?
Step 1
We can use the formula: speed of light = frequency × wavelength The speed of light is approximately 3 × 10^8 m/s. Show more…
