Question

What would be the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave having a frequency equal to the clock speed of a 2.7 GHz personal computer? In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum would such a wave lie?

Answer 1

the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave with a frequency is approximately 0.111 meters or 11.1 centimeters.

the electromagnetic wave falls within the radio wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

Given:

Frequency = 2.7 GHz = 2.7 × 10^9 Hz

so...

wavelength = (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (2.7 × 10^9 Hz)

then the answer would be...

wavelength ≈ 0.111 meters or 11.1 centimeters

now regarding the second question...in the given scenario, the wavelength of 11.1 centimeters is relatively long, indicating a lower frequency. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave in question falls within the radio wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
