Question:
A radio station uses broadcasting at 600 kHz. What is the wavelength of the signals emitted by the station (speed of light {eq}c=3\times 10^8 {/eq} m per s)?
Frequency and Wavelength:
Remind that the frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is directly related by an equation
{eq}f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} {/eq}
where
- {eq}c = 3.0 \times 10^8 \ \frac{m}{s} {/eq} is the speed of light,
- {eq}f {/eq} is the frequency,
- {eq}\lambda {/eq} is the wavelength.
