Question

A local FM radio station broadcasts a frequency of 97.0 MHz. What is the wavelength, in meters, of the electromagnetic waves produced?

 

Answer 1

Hi Valerie,

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, the frequency of broadcast is f=97.0x10⁶ Hz, the wavelength is

λ = c/f = (3x10⁸ m/s)/97.0x10⁶ = 3.09 m
