How do you calculate the speed of a radio wave if you know the wavelenghth and frequency?

The speed of every radio wave is 186,282 miles (299,792,458 meters) per second.
When you multiply the frequency times the wavelength, that's the result. If it isn't,
then you made a mistake somewhere.

How to calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave you need to know the speed of the wave and its?
You need to know it speed, wavelenght and its frequency.
What is the frequency of this am radio wave in hertz when An AM radio station broadcasts news at 687 kHz?
For any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed (of the wave). In this case, convert the kHz to Hz, then divide the speed of light by this frequency. The speed of light should be in meters/second. The answer will be the wavelength in meters.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
What is the frequency of a radio wave that has a wavelength of 2.5 m?
Frequency = speed/wavelength = 299,792,458/2.5 = 119.917 MHz (rounded)If you use the popular, approximated and rounded value of 3 x 108m/sfor the speed of light and radio, then you get 120 MHz.
What is the wavelength of a radio station with a signal of 95.5 MHz?
speed of light = wavelength * frequence speed of light = 3*10 8th power
Mathematical relation between frequency and wavelenghth?
frequency = speed of light/wavelength
How is frequency and wavelenghth related?
The product of both is equal to the speed of the wave.
How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')
How do you calculate speed when the frequency and wavelength are given?
speed=frequency x wavelenth xD
How do you calculate the speed of waves?
Speed = Wavelength X Frequency
How do you calculate the waves speed?
Speed = Wavelength X Frequency
How do you calculate light wavelength to frequency?
To find (wavelength): Divide (speed) by (frequency). To find (frequency): Divide (speed) by (wavelength).
How do you calculate the wavelength of frequency?
Wavelength = (speed of the wave) divided by (frequency)
What are the components of a radio wave?
Speed, wavelength and frequency.
How to calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave you need to know the speed of the wave and its?
You need to know it speed, wavelenght and its frequency.
How do you calculate frequency wavelength or wave speed?
you divide!
How does speed affect the frequency of reflected waves?
The Doppler Effect describes a frequency shift in reflected waves in proportion to the relative speed between the receiver and the reflected object. For instance, in a radar speed trap, the frequency shift in reflected radio waves allows the unit to calculate the speed toward (higher frequency) or away from (lower frequency) the transmitter/receiver unit. When you drive past a steady noise source, such a bell or a horn, the sound has a higher frequency as you approach and a lower frequency as you depart.
