Microwaves travel at the speed of light, #3.00 times 10^8# #m##/##s#. When the frequency of microwaves is #9.00 times 10^9# #Hz#, what is their wavelength?
1 Answer
Explanation:
We're given a wave's speed and its frequency, and we're asked to calculate its wavelength.
The wavelength-frequency relationship of a periodic wave is represented by the equation
where
Since we're trying to find the wavelength, let's rearrange this equation to solve for wavelength,
Plugging in our known variables, we have
