2.) A radio wave in a vacuum has a wavelength

of 0.045 m. What is its frequency?

Sound, EM, Other

Frequency = 667 MHz.

EM

Explanation:

The radio waves are the electromagnetic waves of a particular range of frequencies.

Unlike the sound waves which require a medium to propagate, the radio waves can travel in a vacuum.

The frequency of the radio waves ranges between 300 MHz to 600 MHz.

The relation between the frequency and wavelength is given by the relation

f = c / λ Hz

Where c is the velocity of electromagnetic waves. c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Given that the wavelength, λ = 0.045 m

Substituting in the above equation

f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s / 0.045 m

= 667 MHz

Hence, the frequency of the radio waves is, f = 667 MHz

It is electromagnetic radiation (EM).
