A VHF television station assigned to channel 4 transmits its signal using radio waves with a frequency of 66.0 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

4.55 m

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency (ν) : 66.0 MHz = 66.0 * 10⁶ Hz = 66.0 * 10⁶ s⁻¹ Wavelength (λ) : ? Speed of light (c) : 3.00 * 10⁸ m/s

We can determine the wavelength of the radio waves using the following expression.

c = λ * ν

λ = c/ν

λ = (3.00 * 10⁸ m/s) / 66.0 * 10⁶ s⁻¹

λ = 4.55 m

The wavelength of the radio waves is 4.55 m.
