2. Electromagnetic radiation travels at a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s.


a. What is the wavelength of a radio wave that has a frequency of 3.5
x105 Hz?
Wavelength of radio wave with a frequency of 3.5 x 10^5 Hz:
Wavelength = Speed of light / Frequency
Wavelength = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s / 3.5 x 10^5 Hz
Wavelength ≈ 857 meters
b. What is the frequency of an X-ray that has a wavelength of 2.5 x 10-10
m?
b. Frequency of X-ray with a wavelength of 2.5 x 10^-10 m:
Frequency = Speed of light / Wavelength
Frequency = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s / 2.5 x 10^-10 m
Frequency ≈ 1.2 x 10^18 Hz
