Sometimes hikers carry radio beacons so that search and rescue teams can find them in case of emergency. Some of these beacons transmit radio waves with a frequency of 300,000 Hz. (300kHz) What is the wavelength of these waves?

Answer :

Answer:

1000 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of radio waves f = 300,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of these waves.

The formula to find wavelength is as follows :

[tex]c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{300000}\\\\\lambda=1000\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of these waves is 1000 m.
