A certain radar installation transmits electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 3.5 cm. What is the frequency of this radiation?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency of the radiation = 10GHz

Explanation:

The wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, λ = 3.5 cm

λ = 3.5/100 m

λ = 0.035 m

The speed of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Calculate the frequency (f) of the radiation using the formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f=\frac{c}{\lambda} \\ \\ f=\frac{3\times10^8}{0.035} \\ \\ f=10^{10}Hz \\ \\ f=10\times10^9Hz \\ \\ f=10GHz \end{gathered}[/tex]

The frequency of the radiation = 10GHz
