gstevie88 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xer34 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) 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.

Xer34 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 and dont forget your units.. make sure you convert.. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstevie88 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 yea thanks alot for the help, yea i think the answer is 0.025m thanks to the formula u gave me. ( i think that the units are in meters ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
