An AM station broadcasts rock music at "920. on your radio dial." Units for AM frequencies are given in kilohertz (kHz). Find the wavelength of the station's radio waves in meters (m), nanometers (nm), and angstroms (Å)

Answer:

Wavelength = 326.0869 m

Wavelength = 3.2609×10⁻¹¹ nm

Wavelength = 3.2609×10⁻¹² Å

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c = frequency × Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Given, Frequency = 920 kHz

As, [tex]1\ kHz=10^3\ Hz[/tex]

So, Frequency = [tex]920\times 10^3\ Hz[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}[/tex]

[tex]Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{920\times 10^3}\ m[/tex]

Wavelength = 326.0869 m

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So, Wavelength = 3.2609×10⁻¹¹ nm

1 m = 10⁻¹⁰ Å

So, Wavelength = 3.2609×10⁻¹² Å

The wavelength of the station's radio waves in meters (m), nanometers (nm), and angstroms (Å) are 326.0869 m, 3.2609×10⁻¹¹ nm & 3.2609×10⁻¹² Å

How we calculate the wavelength from frequency?

Relation between the wavelength (λ) and frequency (υ) of any radiation is represented as:

υ = c/λ, where

c = speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength of 920 kHz or 920×10³ Hz waves of AM radiation will be calculated as:

λ = 3×10⁸ / 920×10³ = 326.0869 m

We know that relation between meters and nanometers is:

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

326.0869 m = 3.2609×10⁻¹¹ nm

And relation between meter and angstroms is:

1 m = 10⁻¹⁰ Å

326.0869 m = 3.2609×10⁻¹² Å

Hence, the wavelengths are 326.0869 m, 3.2609×10⁻¹¹ nm & 3.2609×10⁻¹² Å.
