Question
What is the wavelength of the radio waves broadcast by an FM radio station with a frequency of 90.9 MHz?
Step 1
1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz So, 90.9 MHz = 90.9 * 1,000,000 = 90,900,000 Hz Now, we can use the formula for the relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and the speed of light (c): λ = c / f Show more…
