We are being asked to calculate the wavelength of an FM radio station broadcasts at 99.5 MHz.
Wavelength, frequency, and the speed of light are connected by the following equation:
c = speed of light, m/s
λ = wavelength, in m
ν = frequency, Hz (Hertz)
We can rearrange the equation to isolate the wavelength (λ):
An FM radio station broadcasts at 99.5 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of the corresponding radio waves.
