The wavelength of radio waves at a frequency of 1250 kHz can be calculated using the formula λ = c/f, where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light (3.00 x 108 m/s), and f is the frequency in hertz. By substituting the values, the wavelength is determined to be approximately 240 meters. The term 'length of the waves' is synonymous with 'wavelength', highlighting a linguistic nuance in the discussion.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light waves
(3.00 *10^8 m/s). If your radio is tuned to
a station broadcasting at 1250 kHz, what is
the length of the waves arriving at the radio
antenna?
