To calculate the wavelength, frequency, and energy of a wave, including radio waves with longer wavelengths than gamma rays, you can use the following formulas:
- Wavelength (λ): The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. The formula to calculate wavelength is:
λ = c / f
where λ represents the wavelength, c is the speed of light (approximately 3.0 x 10^8 m/s), and f is the frequency of the wave.
- Frequency (f): The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. The formula to calculate frequency is:
f = c / λ
where f represents the frequency, c is the speed of light, and λ is the wavelength of the wave.
- Energy (E): The energy of a photon can be calculated using Planck's equation:
E = hf
where E represents the energy, h is Planck's constant (approximately 6.626 x 10^-34 J*s), and f is the frequency of the wave.
Please note that these formulas apply to electromagnetic waves, including radio waves and gamma rays.
If you have a specific wavelength or frequency value for a radio wave, you can plug it into the respective formula to calculate the frequency, wavelength, and energy.
