When listening to a radio station broadcasting at 101 MHz which is 101 million waves per second. You wonder how long the wavelength of these waves is. What is the answer and how does it compare to...?
Adh99
The frequency of 101 MHz corresponds to a wavelength of 2.97 meters.
To find the wavelength of any other frequency, divide 300,000,000 by the frequency.
The quotient is the wavelength in meters.
-- Center of AM radio band . . . 1 MHz . . . 300 meters
-- Cellphone band . . . 900 MHz . . . 33 centimeters
-- One GPS satellite frequency . . . 1,575.42 MHz . . . 19 centimeters
-- Microwave oven . . . 2.45 GHz (billion per second) . . . 12.2 centimeters
-- Blue light . . . 666,666 GHz . . . 450 nm (billionths of a meter)

What is the wavelength of 104.3 FM?
2.789m is the broadcast wavelength for the radio station 107.5 FM
Does 60Hz fall into the range of RF waves used by commercial broadcasting?
No. That would be technologically difficult, and very unwise.-- In order to transmit efficiently, the length of a transmitting antenna must be an appreciablefraction of a wavelength. The easiest to handle are 1/2-wavelength horizontal wire antennas,and 1/4-wave or 5/8-wave vertical antennas, including towers. The wavelength at 60 Hzis 5 million meters, or roughly 3,100 miles.-- With every utility power line, extension cord, toaster, and baseboard heater in North Americaradiating a small signal at 60 Hz, the interference environment for anyone trying to receivea clear newscast on a pocket portable at 60 Hz would be quite unfavorable.The lowest frequency used for commercial broadcasting in the Americas is the low endof the AM dial ... 550,000 Hz, with a wavelength of 545 meters (0.34 mile).
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a 1 hz frequency?
The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).
What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1760 million cycles per second?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (300 million meters/sec) / (1.760 GHz) = 17 centimetersDivide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (cycles/second). The answer will be in meters.
What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1920 million cycles per second?
1.920 MHz ==> 156.25 meters
What is the wavelength of 104.3 FM?
2.789m is the broadcast wavelength for the radio station 107.5 FM
How does a thousand compare a million?
A thousand is 1,000 times smaller than a million.

What is the wavelength of 3.5 million Hz ultrasound as it travels through human tissue?
44o m
How does a million compare to ten thousand?
ten thousand is compared to a million because it takes 100 to make one million so thats what makes ten thousand compare to one million.
What is the difference between sixty two million and 43.18 million?
You can ignore the million, and simply compare 62 to 43. 62 is bigger by about 19 (million).
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a 1 hz frequency?
The distance light takes to travel in a second (just less than 30000000metres).
How does one million compare to one thousand?
One million is one thousand times one thousand
What is the frequency in MHz of a beam of blue light whose wavelength is 4000 Ångströms?
well is the 75 million
What is the frequency of a photon whose wavelength is 6000 Armstrong's?
Divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the wavelength (in meters). The answer is in Hz (1/second). Divide that answer by a million to get MHz.
What happens to the wavelength of lights as the frequency increases?
For any wave (not just light), the product of the wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave. For light in a vaccum, the speed is constant (ca. 300 million m/s). - thus, as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.
What can I look at that will visually compare a million to a billion?
Fail! But thank you for trying....
