A plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z- direction. If the frequency of the wave is 40MHz then its wavelength is

A

5 m

B

7.5 m

C

8.5m

D

10 m

Answer

7.5 m

Explanation

Solution

: Wavelength,

λ=cυ=3×108ms140×106s1=7.5m\lambda = \frac{c}{\upsilon} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}ms^{- 1}}{40 \times 10^{6}s^{- 1}} = 7.5m
