Answer:
The wavelength of the transmitting waves is 55.35 m
Explanation:
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, thus travel at the speed of light (3.0 x [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s)
The frequency of transmission = 15.42 MHz
= 15.42 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Hz
But,
v = fλ
where: v is the velocity of the wave, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength
The wavelength of the transmitting waves can be determined by,
λ = [tex]\frac{v}{f}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3.0 *10^{8} }{5.42 *10^{6} }[/tex]
= 55.3506
λ = 55.35 m
The wavelength of the transmitting waves is 55.35 m.
