A radio station can be heard if the receiver is tuned to a frequency of 6x10^5 Hz. What is the wavelength of the radio waves

5 * 10² m

We are Given:

Frequency of the wave = 6 * 10⁵ Hz

Wavelength of the wave:

We know the relation:

c = λν  

[where λ (Lambda) is the wavelength ,ν (nu) is the frequency and c is the speed of light ]

3 * 10⁸  m/s= (6 * 10⁵ )* λ                          [replacing known values]

λ =                                                     [dividing both sides by 6 * 10⁵]

λ = 1/2 * 10³  

λ = 1/2 * 10 * 10²                                        [10³ can be rewritten as 10 * 10²]

λ = 5 * 10² m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 5 * 10² m
