The radio waves that travel through the air to our car/truck/home radios are just another type of light. Let's say that your favorite radio station is 87.9 on the FM dial. That means that those radio waves have a frequency of 87.9 MHz. (a) What are the wavelength and energy of those radio waves? (b) How fast would these radio waves travel through water?

Explanation:

(a) Electromagnetic waves travels at the speed of light = 3.0 x m/s.

v = fλ

where v is the velocity of the wave, f is the frequency, and λ wavelength.

So that;

λ =

  =

  = 3.413 m

ii. Enegy of the wave can be determined by;

E = hf

where h is the Planck's constant and f the frequency of the wave.

E = 6.626 x x 87.9 x

  = 5.82 x J

(b) Refractive index of water =

velocity of light in water = 1.33 x 3.0 x

       = 3.99 x m/s

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get

a displacement distance is size of displ
