Question:
AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of {eq}3.00 \times 10^8 m/s {/eq}. What is the minimum wavelength of these frequencies? (Answer to 3 significant figures)
Wavelength:
Wavelength is an aspect when studying the properties of a wave for both light and matter. The most basic equation that directly relates the frequency and wavelength is given as {eq}\lambda = \dfrac{c}{f} {/eq}. Always remember that both frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.
