The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave given its frequency, we can use the relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (μ), and the speed of light (c). The formula is: \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{\mu} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Frequency (μ) = 10 MHz - Speed of light (c) = \(3 \times 10^8\) m/s 2. **Convert the frequency from megahertz to hertz:** - 1 MHz = \(10^6\) Hz - Therefore, \(10 \text{ MHz} = 10 \times 10^6 \text{ Hz} = 10^7 \text{ Hz}\) 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** - Using the formula \( \lambda = \frac{c}{\mu} \) - Substitute \(c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}\) and \(\mu = 10^7 \text{ Hz}\): \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}}{10^7 \text{ Hz}} \] 4. **Calculate the wavelength:** - Perform the division: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^7} = 30 \text{ meters} \] 5. **Conclusion:** - The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is \(30\) meters. ### Final Answer: The wavelength is \(30\) meters.
