Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that travel at a
speed of 3.00 x 10^8 m/s, the speed of light. An AM
radio station has an assigned frequency of 601 kHz,
which means that the radio waves broadcast by the
station are at this frequency. Find the wavelength of
these radio waves. PLEASE ANSWER WITH CORRECT
