Let's try a few examples of relating wavelength, frequency, and wave speed. You might want to review SI prefixes. For example, kilo (k) means 1,000, mega (M) means 106, milli (m) means 103, and nano (n) means 10-⁹. In the U.S., FM radio stations broadcast with frequencies within a band from 88.0 to 108.0 MHz. What is the wavelength (in m) of a radio wave emitted from an FM radio tower with a frequency of 99.7 MHz? m Visible light that is perceived as green in color by most human eyes have wavelengths from 520 nm to 560 nm. What is the frequency (in Hz) of green light with a wavelength of 532 nm? Hz X-rays with wavelength of about 0.1 to 0.2 nm are used in medical imaging. (This is approximately the same length as the diameter of a typical atom.) What is the frequency (in Hz) of an x-ray with a wavelength of 0.157 nm? Hz

Current Attempt in Progress In astronomy, distances are often expressed in light-years. One light-year is the distance traveled by light in one year. If the distance to a star is 4.2 light-years, what is this distance in meters? (There are 365.25 days in one year.) Number i Units
The population of India can be modeled by the function P(t) = 1462(1 +0.0177) where P(t) measures the population in millions andt represents the number of years since 2000. 1. Using this model, what was the population of India in 2009? 2. Predict the population of India in 2019. 3. If this growth rate continues, in what year will the population of India reach 2 billion people? Hint:
A high tech company uses a satellite to measure the size of features on the surface of the earth. They use this technology to measure a particular rectangular field and find it's length to be 444 ± 1.8 in meters and it's width to be 198 ± 1.63 in meters. They plan to report the perimeter (sum of two lengths and two widths) of the field as P± SP in units of yards. (1 meter = 1.094 yards) What is SP?
An expression for buoyant force is FB = ρgV, where FB has dimensions [MLT−2], ρ (density) has dimensions [ML−3], and g (gravitational field strength) has dimensions [LT−2]. The correct interpretation of V is that it represents velocity or volume?
