A certain radio wave has a frequency of 2.0 x 10^6 Hz. What is its wavelength? Can someone help me solve this??

OpenStudy (roadjester):

\(c=\lambda f\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is what?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

speed of light=\(\large 3 X10^8 m/s\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so, how do start to solve this?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

... solve for lambda

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

What he basically said is the speed of light is equals to wavelength times frequency.

OpenStudy (roadjester):

^ What @wolfe8 said

OpenStudy (roadjester):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay, so if im looking for the wavelength then I have to divide the speed of light by frequency?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh okay cool thank you!!
