The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency corresponding to a wavelength of 300 m for radio waves traveling at a velocity of \(3 \times 10^8\) m/s, we can use the formula that relates velocity (v), frequency (f), and wavelength (λ): \[ v = f \cdot \lambda \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Velocity of radio waves, \(v = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s - Wavelength, \(\lambda = 300\) m 2. **Rearrange the formula to solve for frequency (f)**: \[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ f = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{300 \text{ m}} \] 4. **Perform the division**: - First, simplify \(300\) in terms of powers of ten: \[ 300 = 3 \times 10^2 \] - Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^2} \] 5. **Cancel out the common terms**: \[ f = \frac{3}{3} \times \frac{10^8}{10^2} = 1 \times 10^{8-2} = 1 \times 10^6 \text{ Hz} \] 6. **Convert Hz to Mega Hertz**: - Since \(1 \text{ MHz} = 10^6 \text{ Hz}\): \[ f = 1 \text{ MHz} \] ### Final Answer: The frequency corresponding to a wavelength of 300 m is \(1 \text{ MHz}\). ---
