Suppose your favorite am radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 1150 killahertz(kHz). What is the wavelength in centimeters of the radiation from the station?

c = \lambda f


Where c = speed of light, \lambda = wavelength. Solve for f. Be sure to keep your units straight.

Why did you label this question "frequency and atomic spectrum?"
