Question 6A84
Element 6 (Radiotelegraph)The wavelength of the period of one complete cycle of a radio wave of 0.000,001 second is:
Explanation
The wavelength of a radio wave is the distance it travels during one complete cycle. To calculate this, we use the fundamental relationship: Wavelength ($\lambda$) = Speed of Light (c) $\times$ Period (T).
The speed of light (c) in a vacuum is approximately 300,000,000 meters per second (or 3 x 10$^8$ m/s).
The given period (T) is 0.000,001 seconds, which can also be written as 1 x 10$^{-6}$ seconds.
Plugging these values into the formula:
$\lambda$ = 300,000,000 m/s $\times$ 0.000,001 s
$\lambda$ = 300 meters
Therefore, the wavelength is 300 M. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they result from miscalculations or using different values for the period or speed of light.
