Question 1 Report

The diagram shows a microwave signal. Two complete waves fit into 6.0 cm, so the wavelength is 3.0 cm. diagram Electromagnetic waves travel at 3.0 × 108 m/s. What is the frequency of this microwave?

Answer Details

The correct answer is 1.0 × 1010 Hz. Using \( f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8}{0.030} = 1.0 \times 10^{10}\ \text{Hz} \), with the wavelength converted from 3.0 cm to 0.030 m. \( 1.0 \times 10^9 \) Hz comes from forgetting the cm-to-m conversion, and the two smaller answers divide the wrong quantities.
