B) $5.0 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~m}$
C) $5.0 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}$
D) $5.0 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~m}$
E) $5.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~m}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength ($\lambda$) of electromagnetic waves can be calculated using the formula $\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$, where $c$ is the speed of light ($3.0 \times 10^8$ m/s) and $f$ is the frequency of the wave. For a frequency of $60 \mathrm{~Hz}$, the wavelength is $\lambda = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m/s}}{60 \mathrm{~Hz}} = 5.0 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}$.
