answers

1

λ = [tex]1.5*10^{-2}[/tex] meters

2

λ = [tex]1.2*10^{-1}[/tex] meters

3

f = [tex]8.0*10^{1}[/tex] Hz

explanation

the equation c = λf can be used

c is the speed of light = [tex]3*10^8[/tex]

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

1

c = λf

[tex]3*10^8=2.0*10^6[/tex]λ

λ = [tex]\frac{3*10^8}{2.0*10^6}[/tex]

λ = [tex]1.5*10^{-2}[/tex] meters

2

c = λf

[tex]3*10^8=2.5*10^7[/tex]λ

λ = [tex]\frac{3*10^8}{2.5*10^7}[/tex]

λ = [tex]1.2*10^{-1}[/tex] meters

3

c = λf

[tex]3*10^8=3.75*10^6[/tex]f

f = [tex]\frac{3*10^8}{3.75*10^6}[/tex]

f = [tex]8.0*10^{1}[/tex] Hz
