A disturbance passes through the Sun's corona (e.g. a CME) and produces radio emissions that are observed at Earth. Calculate the emission frequency if it originates from a region where the electron density is 108 cm-3, the temperature is 1.5 MK, and the magnetic field strength is 10-4 Gauss. Answer in MHz to 2 significant digits. The emission frequency is ____ MHz
