Question:medium

A radio antenna receiver works at \((10.5 \pm 4.5)\,MHz\) with an effective bandwidth of \(9\,MHz\). The corresponding wavelength bandwidth is:

Show Hint

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related: higher frequency means smaller wavelength.

  • 20 m
  • 30 m
  • 40 m
  • 50 m
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Frequency band extremes.
f_min = 10.5 - 4.5 = 6 MHz; f_max = 10.5 + 4.5 = 15 MHz.

Step 2: Wavelength conversion.

λ = c/f.

Step 3: Extreme wavelengths.

λ_max = 3×10⁸/6×10⁶ = 50 m; λ_min = 3×10⁸/15×10⁶ = 20 m.

Step 4: Bandwidth in wavelength.

Δλ = 50 - 20 = 30 m.

Step 5: Conclusion.

The wavelength bandwidth is 30 m.
