Question
1. What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an AM radio station that broadcasts at 1470 kilohertz?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
 
2. What is the energy of a radio photon from the same station?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
 
For question 1 I am not sure how to solve it because the frequency is in kilohertz and I don't know how to convert it into something that I can use. 
For the speed of light in this question, would it be best to use 3 x 10^8 m/s or 3 x 10^5 km/s? 
 
For question 2 I have the formula to use, I'm just uncertain of how to use it.
