Properties of Waves

Example 1 A piano emits frequencies that range from a low of about 28 Hz to a high of about 4200 Hz. Find the range of wavelengths in air attained by this instrument when the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

Example 2 An FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 125 MHz. These radio waves have a wavelength of 2. 40 m. Find the speed of the radio waves.

Example 3 The speed of the radio waves in item 2 is the speed of any electromagnetic waves traveling through empty space. Calculate the wavelength of electromagnetic waves emitted at the following frequencies: Radio Waves 88. 0 MHz

Example 4 The speed of the radio waves in item 2 is the speed of any electromagnetic waves traveling through empty space. Calculate the wavelength of electromagnetic waves emitted at the following frequencies: Visible Light Waves 6. 00 X 108 MHz

Example 5 The speed of the radio waves in item 2 is the speed of any electromagnetic waves traveling through empty space. Calculate the wavelength of electromagnetic waves emitted at the following frequencies: X-ray Waves 3. 00 X 1012 MHz
