A microwave oven operates at 2.50 GHzGHz . What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance? Express the wavelength numerically in nanometers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The wavelength is [tex]\lambda  =  1.2  * 10^8 nm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The frequency of operation of the microwave is  [tex]f =  2.50 GHz  =  2.50 *10^{9} \ Hz[/tex]

     Generally the wavelength is mathematically represented as

          [tex]\lambda  =  \frac{c}{f}[/tex]

Here c is the speed of light with value [tex]c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s[/tex]

So  

         [tex]\lambda  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{  2.50 *10^{9}}[/tex]

=>       [tex]\lambda  =  0.12 \  m [/tex]

converting to nanometer

           [tex]\lambda  =  1.2  * 10^8 nm[/tex]
