There isn't really an "average".

We presently generate and detect radio waves for the purpose of communication

and scientific studies in wavelengths between about 1 millimeter to 5,000 meters

(0.04 inch to 3.1 miles).

What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 980 million cycles per second?

The wavelength of a radiowave depends on its frequency. You take the speed of light and divide by the frequency, and you will get wavelength. For instance, a particular radiostation broadcasts at 97.5 MHz (WALK, Long Island, NY). Take the speed of light, 2.99x108 meters per second and divide by 9.75x107 cycles per second(1), and you get 3.07 meters per cycle. (1) I used cycles per second instead of hertz so that you could see dimensionally how the seconds cancel out.


What happens when Electromagnetic waves pitch is changed?

Changing the pitch of electromagnetic waves alters their frequency, which affects properties like energy and wavelength. For example, decreasing the pitch increases the wavelength and decreases the frequency. This can impact how the waves interact with matter and how they are used in technologies such as communication systems.


Why L1 is chosen 1575.42MHz for GPS signal?

I am just going through some of the physics myself, but if i understand it properly, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength the less likely it is that the wave will bounce around keeping signals accurate. With the increased accuracy comes the use of gps in navigation for weapons and other sorts of things they don't want impacting in the wrong place. With 4 satelites or 3 satelites and a ground station at that frequency they should be able to pinpoint something down to a few millimeters.


What is the first way station in the visual pathway from the eye?

The first way station in the visual pathway from the eye is the retina. Light enters the eye and is focused onto the retina, where photoreceptor cells convert the light into electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.


How do you convert meters per second to hertz?

To convert meters per second to hertz, you would need to know the frequency of the wave or vibration. Hertz measures the frequency of a wave, while meters per second measures the velocity of an object. The conversion factor would depend on the specific wave frequency.

What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 1760 million cycles per second?

To determine the wavelength of the radio waves, we can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second. Converting the frequency to hertz gives us 1.76 x 10^9 Hz. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a wavelength of approximately 0.17 meters or 17 centimeters.


A radio station's channel such as 100.7 FM or 92.3 FM is actually its frequency in megahertz where Calculate the broadcast wavelength of the radio station 104.9 FM?

Wavelength = Speed of light/frequency Wavelength= 300'000'000/104'900'000 (FM 104.9 is frequency modulation 104.9 MHz) Wavelength=2.86 meters


What is the wavelength of Radio 3 MW?

The wavelength of a radio wave can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. For a radio station broadcasting at 3 MW (megawatts), which is likely to be in the medium-frequency range, the approximate wavelength would be around 100 meters.


What wavelength is Classic FM?

Classic FM broadcasts in the FM radio frequency range, typically between 88 and 108 MHz. Each frequency corresponds to a specific wavelength, which varies depending on the frequency the station is broadcasting on.


What is the wavelength of the radio waves for a station broadcasting at 830 kilohertz?

What does it mean to say a radio station has a frequency of 102 megahertz?

A radio station with a frequency of 102 megahertz means that it broadcasts on the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of approximately 3 meters. This frequency corresponds to the location on the radio dial where you can tune in to listen to that particular station.
