Question
Chapter 13, Problem 2RQ
To determine
How does the frequency of a radio wave compare with the frequency of the vibrating electrons that produce it?
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Radio waves are
The frequency of radio waves is between and . This frequency is generated by electrons that are vibrating to produce radio waves. These electrons made the radio waves, so the frequency of electrons and the radio wave will be same because the electrons that produce it is a part of radio wave.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the speed of a radio wave and the vibrating electrons that produce it is same.
