The speed of radio waves is 3*10^8m/s, the same as the speed of light. If a spacecraft transmits a radio signal with frequency 3*10^9Hz, what is the wavelength of those waves?

To find the wavelength of the radio waves transmitted by the spacecraft, we can use the formula:
Wavelength = Speed of Light / Frequency
Given that the speed of radio waves is 3 × 10^8 m/s (which is the same as the speed of light) and the frequency of the radio waves is 3 × 10^9 Hz, we can substitute these values into the formula to calculate the wavelength:
Wavelength = (3 × 10^8 m/s) / (3 × 10^9 Hz)
Now let's simplify the expression:
Wavelength = (1/10) × (10^8 m/s) / (10^9 Hz)
Wavelength = (1/10) × (10^(8-9)) m
Wavelength = (1/10) × 10^(-1) m
Since 1/10 is equal to 0.1, we can write it as:
Wavelength = 0.1 × 10^(-1) m
Simplifying further:
Wavelength = 1 × 10^(-2) m
Therefore, the wavelength of the radio waves transmitted by the spacecraft is 0.01 meters or 1 centimeter.
