The speed of radio waves is 3 x 108 ms in air. Radio station KRLD transmits at 1080 kHz. What is the wavelength of the signal coming from the KRLD tower?

Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)
= (3 x 108) / (1.08 x 106)
= 277.8 meters (rounded)

The wavelength of a radio signal broadcast at a frequency of 99.0 MHz is?
The wavelength of a 99.0 MHz signal is about 9.94 feet.
What does the number of a FM radio station mean?
The numbers in an FM radio station represent the frequency the station transmits the signal on. The frequency range for FM band radio stations is from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz. These radio frequencies are considered VHF or Very High Frequency. The difference between AM and FM radio is that in AM radio the Amplitude is Modulated, or changed to send the signal, whereas with FM, the Frequency is Modulated or altered to send the signal.
Why do radio tower antennas have to be so long?
1). The station has better coverage over a wider area if it transmits its signal from high off the ground,above the trees and buildings etc.2). The station has better coverage over a wider area, and its signal has better immunity to noise,if its transmitting antenna is vertical.3). The length of a transmitting antenna has to be an appreciable portion of the station's wavelength.The shortest practical antenna for broadcast service is not less than about 35% of the wavelength.For AM radio, where the frequency is around 1 MHz, the wavelength is more than 900 feet for stationsin the center of the dial! So most often, the tower you see at an AM station is not the support for theantenna, the tower is the antenna.4). For FM broadcast, where the frequency is around 100 MHz, the wavelength is a more manageable3 meters or so. The transmitting antenna is the set of hooks, cups, claws, or semicircles you seemounted high on the tower, placed there to get the signal up over the trees and other obstructions.
What radio station sends a signal with a wavelength of 3.25 meters?
Frequency = speed/wavelength = 3 x 108 / 3.25 = 92.3 MHz. In the US, that frequency is in the commercial FM broadcast band (88 - 108 MHz). There are many FM stations, in many different cities, on that frequency.
How are signal received in radio station?
transmissions
Which station's signal has waves with longer wavelengths?
electromagnetic waves with a longer wavelength has
Explain how a Microwave regenerate signal about every thirty-five miles?
-- A receiver receives the radio signal from the previous station.-- The receiver extracts the information from the signal.-- The information is applied to a transmitter, which transmits a new radio signal to the next station.
Is a wavelength of a radio longer or shorter than a radio wavelength?
That depends on what station the radio is tuned to and the other radio signal. In general, they tend to be quite similar if not identical.
How do phone masts work?
They are basically a 'relay station' The handset transmits a signal to the nearest masts, and the masts re-transmit the signal to the next mast, and the next etc... until the call reaches its destination.
The wavelength of a radio signal broadcast at a frequency of 99.0 MHz is?
The wavelength of a 99.0 MHz signal is about 9.94 feet.
Is saying that a device transmits a signal correct?
Yes, it is correct

FM station KCOM transmits simultaneously at a frequency of 99.9 MHz from two broadcast towers placed 31.5m apart along a north-south line what is wave length?
Wavelength = (speed of light) divided by (frequency) = 3.003 meters.The wavelength of the signal is not affected by the shape, size, or complexity of the antenna array.But depending on the phase difference between the signals radiated from the two towers, the station'ssignal will be louder in some directions and weaker in other directions. By manipulating the phasedifference, the north-south line can be the direction of maximum or minimum signal strength.
What are neurontransmitters?
a chemical that transmits a nervous systems signal across a synapse.
What is continuous signal that transmits information?

What do transponders on aircrafts do?
They do a few different things these days but their primary role is that of radar. The use of radar that flies from a station, hits the aircraft and bounces back to the station is very limited. In most normal situations the ground station sends out a signal. The transponder receives the signal and transmits the return signal. It allows for greater range of the radar and also allows extra info to be passed to the radar controller like height and aircraft ID. This is known as Secondary Radar.
What signal has the longest wavelength?
radio waves
