Suppose you are located 180 m from a radio transmitter.What if this station is 98.1 FM? (The FM band frequencies are in megahertz.)
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves, so the velocity of the radio waves is .
The frequency of band (in megahertz) is .
Now, Substitute for and for in the equation
Now, Substitute 3.058m for in the equation, m
So,
Round off to the three significant digits,
Hence, the number of wavelengths present between radio station and you are 58.9 or 60(approx.)
