An LC circuit is used as a transmitter to generate electromagnetic waves in free space. If the circuit contains an inductor of inductance mH and a capacitor of capacitance F, what is the wavelength of the emitted electromagnetic wave?
(Take the speed of light in vacuum m/s)
(Take the speed of light in vacuum m/s)
Options
- A m
- B m
- C m
- D m
Correct answer
C. m
Step-by-step solution
The frequency of the emitted electromagnetic wave is equal to the resonant frequency of the oscillating charge in the LC circuit.
The resonant frequency is given by:
Given H and F, we have:
s
Substituting this into the frequency formula:
Hz
The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in free space is:
m
Answer: m
