The first flag of the United States of America had 13 stars, white  on a field of blue representing a new constellation.. The 13 stars  actually represented the first 13 stâ¦ates of our new nation in 1776.
#c = 3.00 x 10^8#m/s (the speed of light in a vacuum) #lambda# = wavelength in meters. #nu# = frequency in Hertz (Hz) or #1/s# or #s^-1#. So basically the wavelength times the frequency of an electromagnetic wave equals the speed of light. FYI, #lambda# is the Greek letter lambda , and #nu# is the Greek letter nu (it is not the same as a v). To find wavelength (#lambda#), the equation is manipulated so that #lambda = c/nu#. EXAMPLE PROBLEM.
Calculate the length of a radio wave picked up by a car radio tuned to. The radio wavelength equals the velocity of the radio wave divided by the frequency. In this case, the frequency is 89.3 MHz (8.93 X 107 Hz) and the velocity is the speed of light (3.0 X 108 m/s, for all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum). The calculations are as follows:
