Calculate the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave of frequency 15 MHZ?

1 Answer

Feb 28, 2018

$λ = 19.98616387 m$ $lambda = 19.98616387m$

Explanation:

from the formula $λ = \frac{v}{f}$ $lambda = v/f$
where $λ$ $lambda$ is the wavelength $f$ $f$ is the frequency and $v$ $v$ is the speed

v = 299792458 $\frac{m}{s}$ $m/s$
because it is electromagnetic wave
f = 15 $M H Z$ $MHZ$ = $15 \cdot 10^{6} H Z$ $15*10^6 HZ$

So

$λ = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{299792458}{15 \cdot 10^{6}} = 19.98616387 m$ $lambda = v/f = 299792458/(15*10^6) = 19.98616387m$
