Solution

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, we can use the formula for the speed of light (v), which is equal to the frequency (f) times the wavelength (λ). This can be rearranged to solve for wavelength:

λ = v / f

Given that the speed of light (v) is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s and the frequency (f) is 900.0 kHz (or 900.0 x 10^3 Hz, because 1 kHz = 10^3 Hz), we can substitute these values into the formula:

λ = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / (900.0 x 10^3 Hz)

This gives us a wavelength (λ) of 3.333 x 10^2 m, which is equivalent to 333.3 m. Therefore, the wavelength of the radio wave is 333.3 m.
