The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation given its frequency, we can use the formula that relates the speed of light (c), frequency (ν), and wavelength (λ): \[ c = \nu \cdot \lambda \] Where: - \( c \) is the speed of light (in meters per second), - \( \nu \) is the frequency (in hertz), - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength (in meters). We can rearrange this formula to solve for wavelength (λ): \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Frequency (ν) = \( 2 \times 10^6 \) Hz - Speed of light (c) = \( 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}}{2 \times 10^6 \, \text{Hz}} \] 3. **Perform the division**: - First, divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \] - Next, divide the powers of ten: \[ \frac{10^8}{10^6} = 10^{8-6} = 10^2 \] - Combine the results: \[ \lambda = 1.5 \times 10^2 \, \text{m} \] 4. **Final result**: \[ \lambda = 150 \, \text{m} \] ### Answer: The wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation is \( 150 \, \text{m} \).
