A certain radiostation broadcasts on a frequency of 920 k Hz. What is the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation broadcast by the radio station?

Solution

The frequency of radiostation emitted.
v = 920 kHz = 920 x 10³ Hz = 920 x 10³ s^-1
We know, $straight v space equals space straight c over straight lambda$
or $straight lambda space equals space straight c over straight lambda space equals space fraction numerator 3 space cross times space 10 to the power of 8 space ms to the power of negative 1 end exponent over denominator 920 space cross times space 10 cubed straight s to the power of negative 1 end exponent end fraction$
$equals space 3 over 92 cross times 10 to the power of 4 straight m space equals space 326 space straight m$
$therefore$ Wavelength of radiowave broadcast by the station = 326 m
