And FM radio station broadcast at 96.6 MHz. Find the wavelength in meters of this radio wave. Radio waves travel at the speed of light in vacuum.
Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
