When I wave a charged golf tube at the front of the classroom with a frequency of two oscillations per second, I produce an electromagnetic wave of frequency 2Hz. What is the wavelength of this wave?

Respuesta :

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

[tex]\lambda = \frac{c}{f}[/tex]

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

[tex]f = 2Hz[/tex]

[tex]c = 3*10^8km/s[/tex]

Replacing we have,

[tex]\lambda = \frac{c}{f}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 1.5*10^8m[/tex]

Therefore the wavelength of this wave is [tex]1.5*10^{8}m[/tex]
