Question:
An FM radio station broadcasts at 82.3 MHz.
a) Determine the period of the radio waves.
b) What is the wavelength of the waves?
Calculating Properties of Radio Waves.
Period is defined as the inverse of frequency. Given frequency, we can find the period using this relation. Radio wave is a kind of electromagnetic wave, which has the speed of light. The propagation speed of a wave is its frequency multiplied by its wavelength. With this relation, we can find the wavelength.
