The correct Answer is:
To determine the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that corresponds to the frequency of 1057 MHz, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the Frequency to Hertz**: The given frequency is 1057 MHz. To convert this to Hertz, we use the conversion factor that 1 MHz = \(10^6\) Hz. \[ 1057 \text{ MHz} = 1057 \times 10^6 \text{ Hz} = 1.057 \times 10^9 \text{ Hz} \] 2. **Identify the Frequency Ranges of Different Regions**: We need to know the frequency ranges for various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum: - **Radio Waves**: \(3 \times 10^3 \text{ Hz} \) to \(3 \times 10^{11} \text{ Hz}\) - **Infrared**: \(3 \times 10^{11} \text{ Hz} \) to \(4.3 \times 10^{12} \text{ Hz}\) - **Visible Light**: \(4.3 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz} \) to \(7.5 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}\) - **Ultraviolet**: \(7.5 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz} \) to \(3 \times 10^{16} \text{ Hz}\) - **X-rays**: \(3 \times 10^{16} \text{ Hz} \) to \(3 \times 10^{19} \text{ Hz}\) - **Gamma Rays**: Greater than \(10^{19} \text{ Hz}\) 3. **Determine Where 1.057 x 10^9 Hz Fits**: Now we compare \(1.057 \times 10^9 \text{ Hz}\) with the ranges we have: - It is **greater than** \(3 \times 10^3 \text{ Hz}\) (the lower limit of radio waves). - It is **less than** \(3 \times 10^{11} \text{ Hz}\) (the upper limit of radio waves). - It does not fit into the infrared range, as it is less than \(3 \times 10^{11} \text{ Hz}\). 4. **Conclusion**: Since \(1.057 \times 10^9 \text{ Hz}\) falls within the range of radio waves, we conclude that the frequency of 1057 MHz corresponds to the radio wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. ### Final Answer: The frequency of 1057 MHz of radiation arising from two close energy levels in hydrogen belongs to the **radio wave** region of the electromagnetic spectrum. ---
