The wavelength of a radiowave depends on its frequency. You take the speed of light and divide by the frequency, and you will get wavelength.
For instance, a particular radiostation broadcasts at 97.5 MHz (WALK, Long Island, NY). Take the speed of light, 2.99x108 meters per second and divide by 9.75x107 cycles per second(1), and you get 3.07 meters per cycle.
(1) I used cycles per second instead of hertz so that you could see dimensionally how the seconds cancel out.
There isn't really an "average". We presently generate and detect radio waves for the purpose of communication and scientific studies in wavelengths between about 1 millimeter to 5,000 meters (0.04 inch to 3.1 miles).
The frequency changes, as the speed of light c is always constant (299 792 458 meters /s).For example; your favorite radio station frequency might change from 99.8 FM to 95.4 FM if the pitch was lowered, as the speed is unchanging.Or, if the wavelength for the color blue was heightened in pitch over time, the color blue might appear to shift through the rainbow to red, infrared and beyond. In Astronomy, we see this all the time, it's called Redshift. very distant galaxies and stars appear to move away from us so fast, their light reaches us 'squashed together', and their light appears more red the further they are from our telescopes.
I am just going through some of the physics myself, but if i understand it properly, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength the less likely it is that the wave will bounce around keeping signals accurate. With the increased accuracy comes the use of gps in navigation for weapons and other sorts of things they don't want impacting in the wrong place. With 4 satelites or 3 satelites and a ground station at that frequency they should be able to pinpoint something down to a few millimeters.
The first way station in the visual pathway from the eye is the retina. Light enters the eye and is focused onto the retina, where photoreceptor cells convert the light into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
Hertz are a measurement of frequency, where meters per second is a measurement of velocity (speed). The two cannot be converted. Hertz is cycles per second, like a radio wave or sound wave. An example is a radio station transmitting on 10.0 MegaHertz (MHz) This indicates the radio wave oscillates 10 Million times per second. Meters per second can be used to measure, for example, the velocity of a car or bullet. Trying to convert frequency to speed would be like trying to convert Miles per hour to liters... it doesn't work.
1.920 MHz ==> 156.25 meters
Your radio separates the stations according to their frequency (wavelength).
2.789m is the broadcast wavelength for the radio station 107.5 FM
The station with 107.1 MHz would have the longer wavelength.
To determine the wavelength of the radio waves, we can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Converting the frequency to hertz gives us 1.76 x 10^9 Hz. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a wavelength of approximately 0.17 meters or 17 centimeters.
Wavelength = Speed of light/frequency Wavelength= 300'000'000/104'900'000 (FM 104.9 is frequency modulation 104.9 MHz) Wavelength=2.86 meters
The wavelength of a radio wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. For a radio station broadcasting at 3 MW (megawatts), which is likely to be in the medium-frequency range, the approximate wavelength would be around 100 meters.
Classic FM broadcasts in the FM radio frequency range, typically between 88 and 108 MHz. Each frequency corresponds to a specific wavelength, which varies depending on the frequency the station is broadcasting on.
Wavelength = (speed of light) / (frequency) = (300,000,000 m/s) / (830,000) = 361.4 meters (rounded)
A station service is defined by power in watts and wavelength or frequency as to where it can be heard. The services could be AM or FM. Various shows are available

A radio station with a frequency of 102 megahertz means that it broadcasts on the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of approximately 3 meters. This frequency corresponds to the location on the radio dial where you can tune in to listen to that particular station.
