What is the wavelength of microwaves of 3.0 X 10^9 Hz frequency?

Respuesta :

Livingsta
Given,

Frequency of microwaves = 3 x 10^9 Hz

We know that,

Velocity (c) = Frequency x Wavelength
Velocity of light (c) = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Therefore,

Wavelength = Velocity ÷ Frequency = (3 x 10^8) ÷ (3 x 10^9) = 0.1 m

The wavelength of the microwave is 0.1 m.

To calculate the wavelength of the microwave, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • c = λf............ Equation 1

Where:

  • c = speed of microwave
  • λ = wavelength of the microwave
  • f = frequency of the microwave

make λ the subject of the equation

  • λ = c/f.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • c = constant = 3.0×10⁸ m/s
  • f = 3.0×10⁹ Hz

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • λ = (3.0×10⁸)/(3.0×10⁹)
  • λ = 0.1 m

Hence, The wavelength of the microwave is 0.1 m.
