Radio waves frequencies
hertzkilohertzmegahertzgigahertz
1,000,000,000 Hz = 1,000,000 kHz = 1,000 MHz = 1 Ghz
a 1 Hz wave is 300,000 km longa 1 kHz wave is 300km longa 1 MHz wave is 300m longa 1 GHz wave is 30cm long
The lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength. The shorter the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light.
