AI Thread Summary
To calculate the length of a monopole antenna for a frequency of 1.8 GHz, the wavelength (λ) is determined using the formula λ = c/f, where c is the speed of light (approximately 2.99792458 × 10^8 m/s). The frequency f is 1.8 GHz, which equals 1.8 × 10^9 Hz. The calculated wavelength is about 16.67 cm, and the monopole antenna length is typically a quarter of this wavelength, resulting in a length of approximately 4.17 cm. Converting the speed of light to cm/s can simplify calculations for those unfamiliar with metric units.

Hello, I got the following problem.

1. Assuming that your cell-phone antenna acts like a monopole, how long should it be if the
cell phone operates at a frequency of 1.8 GHz? (Note: 1 GHz = 1000 MHz =
1,000,000,000 Hz.)




2. λ= c/f



f would 1/T, T being the Hz. But that would be 0,0000000001

Then, c is always the same value, right? Which would be c = 2.99792458 × 108 [m/s].

I can't get the result. It's supposed to be about 4 cm:confused:

Hello XodoX! :smile:

Convert c to cm/s :wink:

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
