Question
A radio can tune in to any station in the 7.5 MHz to 12 MHz band. What is the corresponding wavelength band?

Solution
A radio can tune to minimum frequency, v1 = 7.5 MHz = 7.5 × 106 Hz
Maximum frequency, v2 = 12 MHz = 12 × 106 Hz
Speed of light, c = 3 × 108 m/s
Corresponding wavelength for v1 can be calculated as:
`lambda_1 = "c"/"v"_1`
= `(3 xx 10^8)/(7.5 xx 10^6)`
= 40 m
Corresponding wavelength for v2 can be calculated as:
`lambda_2 = "c"/"v"_2`
= `(3 xx 10^8)/(12 xx 10^6)`
= 25 m
Thus, the wavelength band of the radio is 40 m to 25 m.

Can Lα X-ray of one material have shorter wavelength than Kα X-ray of another?
Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
(Use Planck constant h = 6.63 × 10-34 Js= 4.14 × 10-15 eVs, speed of light c = 3 × 108 m/s.)
