Problem

A coastal radio station broadcasts electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 100 MHz100\,\text{MHz}. a. (i) Calculate the wavelength of the waves in free space. b. (ii) If the instantaneous electric field amplitude in the signal is 2.0 V m−12.0\,\text{V\,m}^{-1}, determine the corresponding magnetic field amplitude. c. (iii) Estimate the time taken for these waves to travel a distance of 1500 km1500\,\text{km} over the ocean surface, assuming free-space propagation throughout.
