With the digits written in the question, the unit should be "meters per second", not miles.

A radio wave with a wavelength of 10 meters has a frequency of (300,000,000 / 10) = 30 MHz.

300,000,000 meters = 186,282 miles

A radio wave with a wavelength of 10 miles has a frequency of (186,282 / 10) = 18,628 Hz.

Component of electromagnetic waves that does not vary?

-- Frequency -- Wavelength. -- Speed. While each of these may vary their inter-relationship does not. Frequency - V Wavelength -L Speed - c VL=c is always true. c= varies depending on the medium through which the light is propagated.


In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves similar?

they both have wavelenghth and have energy


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.


What is the sped of radio waves through a vacuum?

v=f^ where v is velocity f is frequency ^ is (suppose to be the symbol of lambda but im to lazy to pull it from character map) wavelength of waves this formula applies for radio waves in vacuum so v(speed) is frequency of the radio waves multiplied its wavelength


What is the wavelength of the FM radio station 91.50 FM?

Wavelength = speed/frequency299,792,458 meters per second/94,400,000 per second = 3.176 meters = 10ft 5in(For the speed, I used the speed of light/radio in vacuum, although you actuallyreceive your FM program through air. The speed of radio is very slightly less inair, and that implies a very slightly larger wavelength ... less than a small fractionof a hill of beans.)

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its?

frequency. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is constant and is determined by the medium it travels through.


If a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency which has the longer wavelength?

Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, but it is directly proportional to the velocity of propagation. Since sound propagates through air much more slowly than EM waves propagate through the atmosphere or the vacuum of space, the wavelengths of sound waves are much smaller for identical frequencies.


Which of the following is an effect of increasing the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave?

Increasing the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave will decrease its frequency and energy. This change can affect how the wave interacts with matter, such as increased penetration through obstacles or reduced absorption by certain materials.


What is the relation between the frequency wavelength and speed of a sound wave?

The speed of a sound wave is determined by its frequency and wavelength through the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa, to maintain a constant speed.


What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 2.3 multiplied by 108 Hz?

The speed of an electromagnetic wave can be calculated using the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. Given the frequency of 2.3 x 10^8 Hz, the speed of the wave would depend on the corresponding wavelength to calculate the speed.


What is energy that can travel through empty space?

Electromagnetic radiation can travel through "empty" space. Depending on the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, we call it "radio" or "microwaves" or "heat" or "light" or "UV" or "X-rays" or even "cosmic rays" - it's all different frequencies of EM radiation. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency; in fact, the frequency times the wavelength is the constant "c", the speed of light.


What can you tell about the speed of two waves that have the same wavelength and frequency?

IF they're both mechanical waves or both electromagnetic waves, AND they'reboth moving through the same stuff, THEN they both have the same speed.


Does speed wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves change in vacuum?

No, the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is constant and equal to the speed of light, which is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. However, the wavelength and frequency of the waves can change as they move through different mediums with different refractive indexes.

How are frequency speed and wavelength related?

Frequency, speed, and wavelength are related through the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases to maintain a constant speed, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the wave equation, where the product of frequency and wavelength determines the speed at which a wave travels.


How is color related to frequency and wave land?

If a vacuum has a frequency of 1.01000000000000000000 what is the wave length?

Vacuums don't have frequencies.Electromagnetic waves moving through vacuums have frequencies and wavelengths.They also have speed. Regardless of their frequency and wavelength, their speed is always299,792,458 meters per second.The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is [ (its speed) divided by (its frequency) ].If its frequency is 1.01 Hz, then its wavelength is 296,824,215.8 meters (about 184,438 miles).
