Question
What are the wavelength ranges for the following? (a) the AM radio band (540–1600 kHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m (b) the the FM radio band (88–108 MHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) AM radio band (540–1600 kHz)
frequency = 540 kHz = 540 x 10³ Hz
wave length = velocity of light / frequency
= 3 x 10⁸ / 540 x 10³
= 555.55 m
frequency = 1600 kHz = 1600 x 10³ Hz
wave length = velocity of light / frequency
= 3 x 10⁸ / 1600 x 10³
= 187.5 m
maximum wavelength = 555.55 m
minimum wavelength = 187.5 m
b )
AM radio band (88 – 108 MHz)
frequency = 88 MHz = 88 x 10⁶ Hz
wave length = velocity of light / frequency
= 3 x 10⁸ / 88 x 10⁶
= 3.41 m
frequency = 108 MHz = 108 x 10⁶ Hz
wave length = velocity of light / frequency
= 3 x 10⁸ / 108 x 10⁶
= 2.78 m
maximum wavelength = 3.41 m
minimum wavelength = 2.78 m
