उत्तर

a. We know that, 

v = f λ 

Here it is given that c = 3 × 108 m/s

and, f = 500 MHz = 500 × 10Hz

λ = 60 cm = 0.6 m 

∴ v = (500 × 10) × (0.6) = 3 × 10m/s

which is the same as the velocity of the e-m wave in vacuum or air.

b. The medium through which it is travelling is either air or vacuum.
