Concept Introduction:
The
Electromagnetic waves are described by three properties, namely, frequency
Here “
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiations with long wavelengths. The energy of radio waves is quite small. The radio captures radio waves emitted by the radio stations.

- Mars is roughly 60 million km from the earth. How long does it take for a radio signal originating from the earth to reach Mars?arrow_forwardAn FM radio station found at 103.1 on the FM dial broadcasts at a frequency of 1.031188s1 (103.1 MHz). What is the wavelength of these radio waves in meters?arrow_forwardAn FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 101.3 MHz. What is the wavelength, in meters and nanometers, of this radiation?arrow_forward
- describe waves in terms of frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.arrow_forwardExplain why you could or could not measure the wavelength of a golf ball in flight.arrow_forwardA baseball weighs 142 g. A professional pitcher throws a fast ball at a speed of 100 mph and a curve ball at 80 mph. What wavelengths are associated with the motions of the baseball? If the uncertainty in the position of the ball is 12 wavelength, which ball (fast ball or curve) has a more precisely known position? Can the uncertainty in the position of a curve ball be used to explain why batters frequently miss it?arrow_forward
