suppose that your microwave oven operates at a frequency of 2.48 ghz. find the corresponding wavelength of the electromagnetic waves in the oven.

Respuesta :

The wavelength of the electromagnetic waves with this frequency would be 12 cm.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given as

v . d = c

where

v =  frequency, d= wavelength, c = speed of ligth in vaccum

here in this case v = 2.48 ghz which is equal to

v = 2.48 ghz = [tex]2.48 * 10^{9}[/tex] hz. = [tex]2.48 * 10^{9}[/tex]  s^-1

substituting the values in the relation

d = c / v

d = [tex]3* 10 ^{8}[/tex] / [tex]2.48 * 10^{9}[/tex] = 0.120 m = 12 cm
