Answer:

11m

Explanation:

Wavelength of a wave is the distance between successive crests and trough of a wave. It is represented mathematically as the ratio of the speed of the wave to its frequency. It can be expressed as;

Wavelength ¶ = wave speed (v) /frequency (f)

Given the speed of light c = 2.9979 10^8 m/s.

frequency of the radio wave = 27.075 MHz = 27.075×10^6Hz

Wavelength = 2.9979 10^8/27.075×10^6

Wavelength = 0.11×10^2

Wavelength = 11m

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave being used is 11m
