Physics Formula


Recommended Posts

Im not sure if this is the right place to put this question, i am sorry if it is not.

Could anyone please tell me the physics formula to work out the wavelength of microwaves if i have the frequency?

Question: the frequency of the microwaves to be used in a television transmition is 12 GHz. Calculate the wavelength of the microwaves used in the transmission.

Thanks for yor help,

For any electromagnetic wave, the product of it's wavelength and frequencyis equal to the speed of light. In general, wavelength (x) frequency = velocity of wave

hope that helped.. i dont remember much from chem

A formula for all electromagnetic waves is:

Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength

For a transmission of 12 GHz is 12*10^9 Hz and the velocity is 3*10^8 m/s.
