Microwaves from a transmitter are directed toward a plane reflector. A detector moves along the normal to the reflector. Between positions of 14 successive maxima, the detector travels distancee of 0.14 m . What is the frequency of transimitter?

A

`1.5 xx 10^(10)` Hz

B

`10^(10)` Hz

C

`3 xx 10^(10)` Hz

D

`6 xx 10^(10)` Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`7lamda=0.14,lamda=0.02`
`f=(v)/(lamda)=(3xx10^(8))/(0.02)=1.5xx10^(10)Hz`
