The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation broadcast by a radio station with a frequency of 900 kHz, we can use the formula that relates the speed of light (c), frequency (ν), and wavelength (λ): \[ c = ν \cdot λ \] Where: - \( c \) is the speed of light, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) meters per second. - \( ν \) is the frequency in hertz (Hz). - \( λ \) is the wavelength in meters. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the frequency from kilohertz to hertz**: \[ ν = 900 \text{ kHz} = 900 \times 10^3 \text{ Hz} = 9 \times 10^5 \text{ Hz} \] 2. **Use the speed of light in the formula**: \[ c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s} \] 3. **Rearrange the formula to solve for wavelength (λ)**: \[ λ = \frac{c}{ν} \] 4. **Substitute the values into the equation**: \[ λ = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{9 \times 10^5 \text{ Hz}} \] 5. **Calculate the wavelength**: \[ λ = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{9 \times 10^5} = \frac{3}{9} \times 10^{8 - 5} = \frac{1}{3} \times 10^3 \text{ m} \] \[ λ = \frac{1000}{3} \text{ m} \approx 333.33 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer: The wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation broadcast by the radio station is approximately **333.33 meters**.
