A radio wave has a frequency of 18,600 Hz. It is 16.0 km long. What is the speed of the Radio wave?

To find the speed of a radio wave, we can use the formula:

\[
v = f \cdot \lambda
\]

where:
- \( v \) is the speed of the wave,
- \( f = 18,600 \, \text{Hz} \) is the frequency,
- \( \lambda = 16.0 \, \text{km} = 16,000 \, \text{m} \) is the wavelength.

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
v = 18,600 \, \text{Hz} \times 16,000 \, \text{m} = 297,600,000 \, \text{m/s}
\]

So, the speed of the radio wave is \( 297,600,000 \, \text
