A microwave oven operates at 2.40 GHz . What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

1 answer

Freq. = 2.40 GHz = 2.40x10^9 waves/second

velocity of light = (wavelength)(frequency)

Wavelength = (velocity of light) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (3.00x10^8 m/s) / (2.40x10^9waves/sec) = ______________ m/wave
----------------
NOTE: "Light" is used in the sense of radiant energy
