Question

(d)
The signals for the monitor unit are transmitted as electromagnetic waves with a
wavelength of 0.125 m.
Wave speed of electromagnetic waves = 3 * 108 m/s
Calculate the frequency of the signal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Frequency = 24 × 10⁸ Hz

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Wavelength = 0.125 meters

To find the frequency of the electromagnetic wave;

Mathematically, the speed of a wave is given by the formula;

Speed = Wavelength × frequency

Substituting into the formula, we have;

3 × 10⁸ = 0.125 × frequency

Frequency = (3 × 10⁸)/0.125

Frequency = 24 × 10⁸ Hz
