**Question 24 of 26**

**Calculate the wavelength in meters of electromagnetic radiation that has a frequency of 960.0 kHz. (c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s)**

To calculate the wavelength (\(\lambda\)) of electromagnetic radiation, you can use the formula:

\[
\lambda = \frac{c}{f}
\]

where
- \(c\) is the speed of light (\(3.00 \times 10^8\) meters per second),
- \(f\) is the frequency in hertz (Hz). In this case, convert 960.0 kHz to Hz by multiplying by \(10^3\).

**Interface Features:**
- A numeric keypad allows entering the answer with buttons ranging from 1 to 9, 0, decimal (.), and sign change (+/-).
- There is an "x 10" button for scientific notation input.
- "C" is for clearing the input, and a delete/backspace button to correct entries.
- A text prompt at the bottom suggests additional resources can be accessed: "Tap here or pull up for additional resources."
