A radio wave signal,which transmits at a frequency of 5.64 MHz,has what wavelength? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s) A)532 m B)106 m C)53.2 m D)167 m E)28.3 m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula to calculate wavelength is:

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

Plugging in the given values:

wavelength = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s / 5.64 MHz

Note that the frequency needs to be converted from MHz to Hz:

wavelength = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s / 5.64 × 10^6 Hz

wavelength = 53.2 meters

Therefore, the best choice is C) 53.2 m.
