FM Radio Signals The carrier wave for an FM radio signal is modeled by the function
y=asin(2π(9.15×107)t)
where t is measured in seconds. Find the period and frequency of the carrier wave.

The value of Period, frequency for a carrier wave.
Answer to Problem 28E
The frequency and period of a carrier wave is 9.15×107 and 1.09×10−8s.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The function for the carrier wave for an FM radio is,
y=asin(2π(9.15×)107)t (1)
Where,
t is in seconds.
Calculation:
The function for the simple harmonic motion which describes the displacement y of an object at time t is,
y=Asinωt (2)
Compare the equation (1) and equation (2),
The values obtained are A is a and the values of ω is 2π(9.15×)107.
Now, calculate the value of period,
The formula for period is,
p=2πω (3)
Substitute the values A for a and 2π(9.15×)107 for ω in equation (3),
p=2π2π(9.15×)107=1.09×10−8s
Thus, the period for the carrier wave of a FM radio is 1.09×10−8s.
Frequency is calculated by,
f=1p (4)
Where,
f is frequency of the object.
p is the period of the object.
Substitute 1.09×10−8s for p in equation (4),
f=11.09×10−8=9.15×107
Thus the value of frequency is 9.15×107.
