**Radio Wave Frequency Calculation**

Amateur radio operators in the United States can transmit on several bands. One of those bands consists of radio waves with a wavelength near 40.0 m. Calculate the frequency of these radio waves.

*Round your answer to 2 significant digits.*

**Input Box:** [  ] MHz  
   
**Buttons:** 

- [Calculation Button: "x"]
- [Reset Button: "↻"]

**Additional Features:**

- *Explanation* and *Check* options available at the bottom.

---

**Explanation of Diagram:** 

There is a simple input box to enter the calculated frequency in MHz. Next to the input, a button labeled "x" suggests a calculation or submit function, while a circular arrow button labeled "↻" indicates a reset function to clear the input. 

The bottom of the interface includes options for further explanation and a check button to verify the entered answer.

**Note:** The frequency of a wave is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Frequency (Hz)} = \frac{\text{Speed of Light (m/s)}}{\text{Wavelength (m)}} \]

Given that the speed of light is approximately \( 3.0 \times 10^8 \) m/s, you can use this formula to find the frequency in Hz and then convert to MHz.
