Concept explainers
To determine:
The wavelength of FM radio and medical X-ray in meters.
Answer to Problem 5.1P
Solution:
The frequency of FM radio and medical X-ray are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Frequency of an FM radio wave =
Frequency of medical X-ray =
Wavelength:
Wavelength of any wave is the distance between consecutive peaks or troughs. It is denoted by
Frequency:
Frequency of any wave is the number of oscillations per second which implies the number of oscillation in one second. It is denoted by
Formula used:
Here,
Calculation:
First change the unit of frequency from
:
To calculate the wavelength uses the following expression:
and,
Therefore,the frequency of FM radio and medical X-ray are
