Answer from: barnhill4755

The formula is wavelength(meters) = 300 / frequency(MHz).

Take 300, divide by frequency, and you will have the wavelength.

Answer from: PastyMexican24

The wavelength of the signal broadcast from the FM radio station is $\boxed{2.96\,{\text{m}}}$ or $\boxed{3.0\,{\text{m}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The radio waves broadcasted by the FM radio station are the electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves are the transverse waves which travel at the speed of light. The electromagnetic waves can also travel through the vacuum.

The frequency range for the radio waves varies from $30\,{\text{Hz}} - 300\,{\text{GHz}}$ . Due to their very high frequency, the radio waves can be easily transmitted over a long range and therefore they are used in the long range communication.

Given:

The frequency of the radio waves emitted by the FM broadcasting station is $101.3\,{\text{MHz}}$ .

Concept:

The wavelength of the wave having a particular frequency is given by the relation:

$\boxed{\lambda=\frac{c}{f}}$

Here, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the radio wave, is the speed of light and is the frequency of the radio waves.

The speed of the electromagnetic wave is same as that of the speed of light and its value is $3\times{10^8}\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}$ .

Substitute the values of and in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}\lambda&=\frac{{3\times{{10}^8}\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}}}{{101.3\,{\text{MHz}}\times\left({\frac{{{{10}^6}\,{\text{Hz}}}}{{1\,{\text{MHz}}}}}\right)}}\\&=\frac{{3\times{{10}^8}}}{{1.013\times{{10}^8}}}\,{\text{m}}\\&=2.{\text{96}}\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the wavelength of the radio waves emitted by the FM broadcast station is $\boxed{2.96\,{\text{m}}}$ .

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
