Best Answer

The length of a wave is denoted by its wavelength, which is found by dividing the speed of light, or c, (3 x 108 m/s) by the frequency (88 x 106 Hz). The answer is 3.4 meters.

What waves are used in remote controls?

Remote controls use both infrared and radio frequency technologies. Your typical TV remote uses infrared and your typical car remote uses RF.


On a Motorola portable radio what is the difference between channel and frequency?

Not only on Motorola Portable radio, but in all radio communications: Frequency is number of cycles (full change circles) per second. When radio device operates on some frequency it requires band of adjacent frequencies to be able to transmit modulation (information) too. To avoid mixing, next transmitter must take some "distance" (higher or lower frequency) far enough from frequency of the first one. According to regulations basic frequencies are "named". Channel number is the name of its frequency given by communication regulations. For example, TV UHF channel 21 takes all frequencies from 512 to 518 MHz (megahertz), channel 22 from 518 to 524 MHz, and so on... CB Radio channels 21 and 22 occupy frequencies from CB band, not from TV band. Tables of channel frequencies within various bands can be easily found by search engines.


What is the wavelength in meters for 880.65 MHz?

The relation to be used: Speed of light c = frequency * wavelengthWavelength = c / frequency,where speed of light c = 2.998 * 108 m/sThe wavelength is therefore 0.34 metres or 34cm or 340mm


What does FM stand for in radio frequency?

FM means Frequency Modulated.FM stands for modulation on frequency or frequency modulation.

How many megahertz in one meter?

I'm going to assume that you're talking about the two familiar types of identificationof radio stations ... their frequency stated in megahertz, and their wavelength statedin meters. (If that's not what you're talking about, then the question is absurd.)The relationship may be a bit more complicated than what you're expecting:Wavelength (in meters) = 300 / frequency (in megahertz)Frequency (in megahertz) = 300 / wavelength (in meters)


The wavelength of a radio wave received at 100 megahertz is?

Wavelength = speed/frequency = 300,000,000/100,000,000 = 3 meters


What radio wave frequency is used to ignite water?

How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?

"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.


What is the number on radio 104.1?

On an FM radio, the number 104.1 refers to the broadcast frequency 104.1 megahertz (MHz).


What does it mean for 102 megahertz frequency in radio stations?

A radio station's channel such as 100.7 FM or 92.3 FM is actually its frequency in megahertz where Calculate the broadcast wavelength of the radio station 104.9 FM?

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


What does it mean to say a radio station has a frequency of 102 megahertz?

Is a radio wave as big as a football field?

What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?

One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.


What are the maximum capabilities of an RF Cable?

An RF cable is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. Breakdown is a function of maximum voltage. Maximum capabilities is dependent on frequency since the typical value of VSWR is proportional to the increase in frequency.


How is megahertz used in a sentence?

The word "megahertz" means a million cycles per second of some wave motion or other repetitive event, as in "the radio transmission was at a frequency of ten megaherz".
