उत्तर
a. We know that,
v = f λ
Here it is given that c = 3 × 108 m/s
and, f = 500 MHz = 500 × 106 Hz
λ = 60 cm = 0.6 m
∴ v = (500 × 106 ) × (0.6) = 3 × 108 m/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.

What are radio waves?
Solve the numerical problem.
Calculate the frequency in MHz of a radio wave of wavelength 250 m. Remember that the speed of all EM waves in a vacuum is 3.0 × 108 m/s.
An electron beam is accelerated by a potential difference V to hit a metallic target to produce X-rays. It produces continuous as well as characteristic X-rays. If λmin is the smallest possible wavelength of X-ray in the spectrum, the variation of log λmin with log V is correctly represented in:
