Radio 5 live in the UK broadcast at 909kHz. What wavelength does this correspond to

1 answer

To determine the wavelength, we can use the formula:

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

where the speed of light is typically given as 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.

Converting the frequency of Radio 5 Live from kHz to Hz:

909 kHz = 909,000 Hz

Using the formula:

wavelength = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 909,000 Hz = 330.1 meters

Therefore, Radio 5 Live in the UK broadcast at a wavelength of approximately 330.1 meters.
