if an FM radio station transmits radio signals that have a wavelength of 3.2m,and radio wave travel at the speed of light, where would you have to adjust your tuner in order to pick up its music?Chack your formula sheet to find to the speed of light, and note that FM wave are measured in Hz(10^6)
The formula to calculate the frequency of a wave is:
Frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
Given that the wavelength is 3.2m and the speed of light is approximately 3x10^8 m/s, we can calculate the frequency of the FM radio station signal:
Frequency = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 3.2m
Frequency = 9.375 x 10^7 Hz or 93.75 MHz
Therefore, you would have to adjust your tuner to 93.75 MHz in order to pick up the music from the FM radio station.
