The first flag of the United States of America had 13 stars, white  on a field of blue representing a new constellation.. The 13 stars  actually represented the first 13 stâ¦ates of our new nation in 1776.
#c = 3.00 x 10^8#m/s (the speed of light in a vacuum) #lambda# = wavelength in meters. #nu# = frequency in Hertz (Hz) or #1/s# or #s^-1#. So basically the wavelength times the frequency of an electromagnetic wave equals the speed of light. FYI, #lambda# is the Greek letter lambda , and #nu# is the Greek letter nu (it is not the same as a v). To find wavelength (#lambda#), the equation is manipulated so that #lambda = c/nu#. EXAMPLE PROBLEM.
Calculate the frequency of this radiation. (b) An FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a. frequency of 103.4 MHz (megahertz; MHz = 10 6 sâ1). Calculate the wavelength of this radiation. The speed of. light is 2.998 Ã 108 m/s to four significant digits.
