What is the frequency of a radio wave of wavelength 150m if the velocity of radio waves in free space is 3 x \(10^8ms^{-1}\)?

Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 1997 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

What is the frequency of a radio wave of wavelength 150m if the velocity of radio waves in free space is 3 x \(10^8ms^{-1}\)?
Answer Details
The formula relating wavelength, frequency, and velocity is: velocity = wavelength x frequency Rearranging the equation, we have: frequency = velocity / wavelength Substituting the values given in the question, we get: frequency = (3 x 10^8) / 150 frequency = 2 x 10^6 Hz Therefore, the frequency of the radio wave is 2 x 10^6 Hz.
