What are the wavelength ranges in (a) the AM radio band(540–1 600 kHz) and (b) the FM radio band (88–108 MHz)?
Amateur radio operators in the United States can transmit on several bands. One of those bands consists of radio waves with a wavelength near 20.m. Calculate the frequency of these radio waves.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
The AM radio band in a particular area has a frequency range of 554 kHz to 1620 kHz. How long is the wavelength of the radiation
at the beginning of the range and how long is the wavelength of the radiation at the end of the range? Answer in units of m.
