Wavelength is calculated in MHz not Hz, and the formula is
Wavelength = 300 / MHz

Do different electromagnetic waves have different frequencies?
Yes. The shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave, the higher its frequency is. Don't confuse frequency with velocity! All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same rate, C (3*10^8) m/s.
How long in meter is a typical radio wave which has a frequency of 560 kilohertz?
Well, consider that a wave's wavelength is equivalent to its velocity multiplied divided by its frequency. If we make the fairly safe assumption that it travels at 3 x 10^8 meters per second (the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum), we can calculate its wavelength as (3 x 10^8)/560000 or 535.7 meters
How does the wavelength of a G-note sound wave compare to the wavelength of an A-note sound wave?
Assuming that both notes are in the range of C4 (middle C) and C5, G has a frequency of 392Hz, and A has a frequency of 440Hz. Assuming that both sound waves are travelling through air, through which sound travels at 340ms-1, then the wavelengths for G and A can be found to be 0.87m and 0.77m, respectively.An easier way to assess a change in wavelength would be to look at the equation v=fλ, where v is the speed of sound, f is the frequency of the note, and λ is the wavelength of the note. A higher pitch note means a higher frequency, and since the speed of sound is constant, then if the pitch is increased the wavelength must compensate by decreasing.Simply put, higher pitch means smaller wavelength.
The pitch of a sound is determined by its wavelength and what?
only wavelengthActually, since ultimately the pitch we hear depends on the frequency, and the frequency is equal to the speed of sound divided by the wavelength, the pitch depends on both the wavelength and the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature of the air. An approximate formula for calculating the speed of sound (credit Wikipedia) is:cair = 20.0457 x sqrt( T ) m/swhere T is the kelvin temperature.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels 3 x 10 and has a frequency of 4 x 10?
wavelength=velocity/frequency (v/f). wavelength=(3x10/4x10)=30/40=.75 meters
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 x 108 and has a frequency of 60 MHz?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = (3 x 108) / (6 x 107) = 5 meters
Do different electromagnetic waves have different frequencies?
Yes. The shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave, the higher its frequency is. Don't confuse frequency with velocity! All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same rate, C (3*10^8) m/s.
What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300000 kilometers?
The formula related to frequency and wavelength is Wavelength = 300000000 / Frequency (f) Wavelength = 300000000 / 30000000000 Wavelength = 1/100 Wavelength = 0.01 meter OR Wavelength = 10 milimeter
What is the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that travels at 3 x 10 to power of 8 ms and has a frequency of 60 Hz?
5,000 km = roughly 3,107 miles
How can you find the speed that a wave travels?
Multiply its frequency by its wavelength.
Calculate the wavelength of an x ray with a frequency of 2.01018 Hz?
Electromagnetic radiation, which includes light and x-rays, travels at 299,792,458 metres per second (c - a universal constant). Speed, frequency and wavelength are related by the equation speed = frequency times wavelength. The only problem with this question is that a frequency of 2.01018 Hz is not in the x-ray range of frequencies. X-rays are found in the frequency range of 30 petaHertz to 30 exaHertz. To put it another way, electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.01018 Hz has a wavelength of 149,137 kilometers (92,669 miles), and that's no X-ray.
Can you describe the similarities of wavelength amplitude frequency and speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
There is absolutely no similarity between amplitude, frequency and the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. It does not matter if they have a great big amplitude, a high frequency, or whatever. An ittsie bitty gamma ray travels at the same speed as a great big radio wave. A sound wave, loud or soft travels at the same speed. The way a mechanical wave travels depends on the material.
What is the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of 5.00X10 12 Hz?
Frequency of electromagnetic radiation = (speed of light) / (wavelength) Speed of light in vacuum = 300,000,000 meters/sec (rounded) Frequency = (300,000,000 meters/sec) / (5 x 10-6 cm) = (3 x 108 m/s) / (5 x 10-8 m) = 0.6 x 1016 = 6 x 1015 Hz.
A wave travels at a speed of 4.0 ms and has a frequency of 3.5 Hz what is the wavelength?
v=frequency x wavelength > wavelength=v/f, 4.0/3.5=1.142m
A wave with a wavelength of 15 m travels at 330 ms Calcuate the waves frequency?
Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) = (330) / (15) = 22 Hz.
The frequency of a wave that travels at a speed of 900 meters per second and a wavelength of 9 meters?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 900/9 = 100 Hz.
