Question:

The Vividh Bharati station of All India Radio, Kozhikode, broadcasts on a frequency of \( 1500\,\text{kHz} \). What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the transmitter? \( (c = 3\times10^8\,\text{m s}^{-1}) \)

Show Hint

Always convert kHz to Hz before using formula.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \]

Step 1:
Convert frequency.
\[ f = 1500 \times 10^3 \]

Step 2:
Calculate.
\[ \lambda = \frac{3\times10^8}{1.5\times10^6} = 200\,\text{m} \]
