A radio station broadcast at a frequency of 600KHZ. If the speed of light in air is 3 × 108ms\(^{−1}\). Calculate the wavelength of the radio wave
A
2.20 × 10\(^3\)m
B
5.0 × 10\(^2\)m
C
5.0 × 10\(^5\)m
D
11.8 × 10\(^{11}\)m
correct option: b
V = fλ

λ = \(\frac{v}{f}\)

= \(\frac{3 \times 10^8}{600 \times 10^3}\) = 500m

= 5 × 102m

N.B 600KHz Frequency = 600 × 103Hz
