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 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.


Is gamma rays the shortest electromagnetic wave?

There is no shortest electromagnetic wave. The higher the energy the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. But since the definition of gamma rays "Energy of 100-200 kiloElectronvolt and above" has no upper limit, no matter how short the wave is, it will still be called "gamma ray"


How long in meter is a typical radio wave which has a frequency of 560 kilohertz?

Oh, dude, you're asking about radio waves now? That's like, totally rad. So, to answer your question, a radio wave with a frequency of 560 kilohertz has a wavelength of about 536 meters. So, like, if you ever need to measure a radio wave's length while jamming out to some tunes, now you know!


What frequency should a radio station have of its wave are to have wavelength of 200m?

Well, honey, if the wavelength is 200m, then the frequency of the radio station should be around 1.5 MHz. Just plug that bad boy into the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). Math doesn't lie, darling!

If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum you can calculate its?

If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, you can calculate its frequency using the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, where the speed is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.


If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?

the speed of light in a vacuum is constant (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s). By using the formula c = λ*f (where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency), you can calculate the frequency when you know the vacuum wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.


Why is wavelength all you need to know to calculate EM wave frequency in a vacuum?

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in a vacuum, following the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. Since the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, knowing the wavelength allows you to determine the frequency of an electromagnetic wave.


How do you know the speed of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum?

The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same as the speed of light (which is, in itself an electromagnetic wave). It can be measured by finding the frequency and wavelength of two different waves, and then by that correlation, the speed of the waveform.


How do you figure out the speed of a wave?

To determine the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency of the wave and its wavelength. You can calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying the wavelength by the frequency. The formula for the speed of a wave is speed = frequency x wavelength.


If this wave travels at 16 cms it's wavelenght would be?

To calculate the wavelength, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. However, to calculate the wavelength, we need to know the frequency of the wave in addition to the speed. If you provide the frequency of the wave, we can calculate the wavelength.


How do you find wave length and speed when none is given but frequency is given?

Well, do you know what kind of wave they're talking about ? I mean, is it sound ? Is it electromagnetic, like light or radio ? If it's one of those, then you know the speed, and with speed and frequency, you can calculate wavelength. If it's just a question on a piece of paper that says "There's a wave and it has this frequency, what is it's speed ?", then no answer is possible ... you have one measly piece of information and everything else is unknown.


What will be the speed when amplitude and frequency is given?

In order to calculate the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency and wavelength. Amplitude has no effect on the speed, so knowing the amplitude doesn't help.


How do you find velocity when only the frequency is given?

The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.


What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 meters?

The speed of a wave is determined by its wavelength and frequency. The formula to calculate wave speed is speed = wavelength x frequency. Without knowing the frequency of the wave, we cannot determine the exact speed.


What was your average spped for waves with 1-hz frequency?

The speed of a wave does not depend on its frequency. We would only need to know what kind of a wave it was ... whether sound, earthquake, ocean, electromagnetic, etc. ... and what substance it was moving through at the time, and we could either calculate or look up its speed, without ever knowing its frequency.


Describe how to calculate each of wavelength speed and frequency if you know the other two factors What is the wavelength of a 25 hertz wave traveling at 35 cms?

1). Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)2). Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)3). Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)Use #3:Wavelength = (35 cm/s) / (25 Hz) = 1.4 cm
