The document contains two examples involving calculations with frequency, period, wavelength and speed of electromagnetic radiation. The first example calculates that the blades of a 15 Hz fan complete 4500 cycles in 5 minutes, with a period of 0.0667 seconds, and would take 6.67 seconds to complete 100 revolutions. The second example calculates that a 3.5x105 Hz radio wave has a wavelength of 857 meters, and an X-ray with a wavelength of 2.5x10-10 m has a frequency of 1.2x1018 Hz.

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
