Concept Introduction:
The distance between the two consecutive crests of a wave is called its wavelength.
Electromagnetic radiation is the type of energy that surrounds us and may lie in the visible region.
Modification or variation in amplitude is called amplitude modulation.
The wavelength of a radiation is given as follows:
Here,
Answer to Problem 7.1YT
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The frequency of the radio signal is 840KHz.
First, the relationship between kilohertz and hertz is as follows:
Also, the relationship between hertz and cycle per second is as follows:
The wavelength of the radiation is calculated as follows:
Substitute
The wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation is

- Mars is roughly 60 million km from the earth. How long does it take for a radio signal originating from the earth to reach Mars?arrow_forwardThe distant galaxy called Cygnus A is one of the strongest sources of radio waves reaching Earth. The distance of this galaxy from Earth is 31024m . How long (in years) does it take a radio wave of wavelength 10 m to reach Earth? What is the frequency of this radio wave?arrow_forwardAmateur radio operators in the United States can transmit on several bands. One of those bands consists of radio waves with a wavelength near 15. m . Calculate the frequency of these radio waves. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forward

- Amateur radio operators in the United States can transmit on several bands. One of those bands consists of radio waves with a wavelength near 160.m. Calculate the frequency of these radio waves. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. || MHz x10arrow_forwardClassify each statement about electromagnetic radiation as true or false. True False Answer Bank X-ray radiation has shorter wavelengths than microwave radiation. The speed of electromagnetic radiation varies with wavelength. Ultraviolet radiation is lower in energy than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes microwaves. Radio waves have a higher frequency than ultraviolet radiation. If the frequency of a wave decreases by some factor, the wavelength of that wave increases by the same factor.arrow_forwardA radiowave has a frequency of 94.9 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of this frequency, in meters. Provide your answers in three sig figs.arrow_forward
