What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

A microwave oven operates at 2.90 GHz . What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

(Express the wavelength numerically in nanometers.)What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?
c = frequency * wavelength

3.00 * 10^8 m/s = (2.90*10^9 Hz) * (wavelength)

wavelength = 0.103 meters



0.103 meters * (1.00*10^9 nanometers / 1 meter) = 1.03*10^8 nanometers is the answer.
