What is the question asking for? Is it the wavelength?
DrBob222
Yes, it's the wavelength in meters.
c = freq x wavelength
c = 2.998 m/s
freq = 1040000 Hz
Solve for wavelength.
c = freq x wavelength
c = 2.998 m/s
freq = 1040000 Hz
Solve for wavelength.

'C' should be 2.998 x 10^8, shouldn't it?
DrBob222
Yes. I forgot to add the exponent.
It should be 2.998E8 m/s
It should be 2.998E8 m/s
