A TV satelite dish is designed to receive waves of waavelength 3.9 meters What is the frequency of the waves it broadcasts?





Give you answer in MHz = 106 Hz|||The waves received will be electromagnetic waves, which always have a speed of v = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.





For any wave, v = f位, speed = frequency times wavelength. So f = v/位


= (3.00 x 10^8 m/s)/(3.9 m)


= 7.69 x 10^7 Hz


= 76.9 MHz.
