adiation emitted by transmitter. Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it belong to?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Vividh Bharati station of All India. Radio, Delhi, broadcasts on a frequency of 1,368 kHz (kilo hertz)

To Find

The wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by transmitter

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it belong to

Solution

We know that

Here

λ = wavelength

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = frequency

Units

λ = metre (m)

c = m/s

v = Hz

According to the question

We are asked to find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by transmitter

Therefore

We must find "λ"

Given that

The Vividh Bharati station of All India. Radio, Delhi, broadcasts on a frequency of 1,368 kHz (kilo hertz)

We know that

kilo (k) = 10³

Hence

v = 1368 kHz = 1368 x 10³ Hz

We know that

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Substituting the values

We get

On further simplification

We get

Hence

On approximation

We get

Hence

Wavelength = 219.3 m

Therefore

It belongs to "Radio waves region" of the electromagnetic spectrum
