Electromagnetic waves are a form of radiation that propagates through space and the atmosphere without the need for a material medium. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that alternate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. Electromagnetic waves emitted by transmission antennas, such as radio antennas, travel through the atmosphere at the speed of light and can be captured by receiving devices, such as radios, televisions and other electronic devices, allowing distance communication and the transmission of information. Statement: Radio station antennas emit electromagnetic waves that propagate in the atmosphere at a speed of around 3.0x10^5 km/s and with frequencies that vary from one station to another. If a radio emits a wave of frequency 101.5 MHz then its wavelength is approximately equal to: Question options: a) 0.31 m b) 5.15m c) 3.63m d) 1.52 m e) 2.96 m
