I don't remember the question exactly because I saw it in my final exam and I'm confused and don't know how to solve it exactly, so here's the question:
99 MHZ (99000000 HZ) frequency is produced to a 60 m base, find the wavelength.
They didn't mention neither the velocity nor the time, and I know to find the time is to put 1/frequency. And does the velocity has the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8. Formula: V=wavelength x frequency
As I told you I don't remember the question exactly but it looks like what I wrote above.
I'm waiting for an answer as soon as possible.
Thanks!

likewise, don't know what produced to a 60 m base means, doesn't make sense

wavelength is simply velocity of light / freq
cutting off a lot of 0000's ... 300 / freq (in MHz) = wavelength in metres

so 300 / 99 = 3.03m
