NEET Physics EM Spectrum MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

If a plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum with a frequency of 30 MHz, what is its wavelength?

A

10 m

B

20 m

C

30 m

D

40 m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is the speed of light, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s. Using the formula wavelength = speed/frequency, the wavelength is (3 x 10^8 m/s) / (30 x 10^6 Hz) = 10 meters.
