An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 500MHz and a wavelength of 60cm.
(a) Calculate the velocity of the wave.
(b) Name the medium through which it is travelling.
An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 500MHz and a wavelength of 60cm.
(a) Calculate the velocity of the wave.
(b) Name the medium through which it is travelling.

(a)An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 500MHz so,

 Frequency = 500 MHz

Wavelength = 60 cm

Wave velocity = frequency x wavelength

Therefore,

Wave velocity is \(3\times {{10}^{8}}\)

(b) An electromagnetic wave is propagating through the atmosphere.
