Question

An FM radio station broadcasts news at 98.0 MHz.

What is the frequency of this FM radio wave in hertz?  

What is the wavelength of this FM radio wave in meters?

Round to the nearest tenth.  

Given that λ = c/ν; the speed of light, c = 3 × 10^8 m/s

Answers with scientific notation should be written in the format of a coefficient number with "e" and the power

e.g., 3.8x104 should be written as 3.8e4
