There are several kinds of dipole; the most common is the half-wave dipole.

Its total length is fairly close to half the wavelength of the design frequency.

The length needs to be adjusted slightly to compensate for the thickness of the elements and for end-effects.

If the length is wrong by ten or twenty percent it will alter the feed impedance, but have little effect on the gain.

What is the length of a wave with a frequency of 5.4hz and a velocity of 15ms?

The wavelength is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency. Substituting the values given, we get Wavelength = 15 / 5.4 = 2.78 meters. Hence, the length of the wave is 2.78 meters.


What is the Dimension of Wavelength?

The give-away should be the word "length" which is hidden in the word "wavelength". Wavelength has the dimensions of length, and is most often stated in meters or centimeters (radio), nanometers (light), etc.


How long is a rope if its standing wave fundamental frequency has a wavelength of 10 meters?

The length of the rope would be half the wavelength of the standing wave, so in this case, the rope would be 5 meters long. This is because the fundamental frequency of the standing wave has one full wavelength, which corresponds to half the length of the rope.


What form of electromagnetic has the longest wavelength?

Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from several meters to kilometers in length.


A wave on a rope has wavelength of 2.0 Hz What is the speed of the wave?

The speed of the wave would depend on the tension, the length of the rope, and the mass per length unit.On the other hand, there is a general relation for waves: speed = wavelength x frequency. This doesn't help in this particular case - you need more data.By the way, Hz. is a unit of frequency.

Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.


How do you make a 11 meter dipole antenna?

A wavelength of 11 meters puts you in the citizen's band. Most equipment uses vertical antennas, and so should you to have the best reception on both ends of a call. There are many ways to assemble a dipole, from a straight wire, to a ladder line, to a coaxial bazooka, to . . . . And many ways to connect your feedline to the radio transceiver: with or without a balun, with or without a balanced feedline, and so forth. Try Googling for dipole antennas, and see what you come up with.


What are the metric units for wavelength frequency?

Wavelength is a length. Hence, the metric unit for it is "meter". Frequency is a reciprocal of time. Hence, the unit for it is "per second", named "Hertz".


How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?

"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.


If you wished to produce a sound with a wavelength in air equal to the length of the room 5 meter what would be its frequency?

To calculate the frequency, you can use the formula: frequency = speed of sound / wavelength. The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second. Since the wavelength is equal to the length of the room (5 meters), the frequency would be 343 / 5 = 68.6 Hz.


What is the wavelength of a wave measured in?

"Wavelength" is described in any convenient unit of length or distance, such as meter, foot, inch, furlong, kilometer, Angstrom, smoot, light-year, etc.


How many meters make one metric ton?
