An fm radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 100.6 mhz. the wavelength of this radiation is ________ m.

Respuesta :

The wavelength would be 2.980044314115. Reduced it would be 2.980 or just 2.98.

Answer: The wavelength of radiation is 2.98 m

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

[tex]\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of the radiation = ?

c = speed of light = [tex]2.998\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

[tex]\nu[/tex] = frequency of radiation = [tex]100.6MHz=100.6\times 10^6Hz=100.6\times 10^6s^{-1}[/tex]    (Conversion factor:  [tex]1MHz=10^6Hz[/tex] )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2.998\times 10^8m/s}{100.6\times 10^6s^{-1}}=2.98m[/tex]

Hence, the wavelength of radiation is 2.98 m
