Wavelength of carrier frequency radio signal

[stickplot]

Homework Statement

Your favorite radio FM radio station broadcasts at a carrier frequency of 94.7 Megahertz.

What is the wavelength of the carrier frequency radio signal?

Homework Equations

velocity=wavelength(frequency)

The Attempt at a Solution

94.7x10^-6(w)= 3x10^8
w= 3.2 wavelength


I think this is right just not 100% sure

Are you sure 94.7 Megahertz = 94.7 x 10^-6 Hertz?

Apart from that typo it looks like you've done it ok. Remember your units though.

o ok i see what i did wrong its 94.7x10^6 hertz but the answer comes out to 3.167898627E12, it just seems weird. would that be right?
and what would the unit be?

 

[Kurdt]

You had the answer correct in the first place despite the typo. What is the SI unit of length?
