  1. A radio can tune to minimum frequency,

    ν1 = 7.5 MHz= 7.5 x 106 Hz Maximum frequency,

    ν2= 12 MHz = 12 x 106 Hz,

    Speed of light, c = 3 x 108 m/s

    Corresponding wavelength for ν1 can be calculated as:

    λ1=c/ν1 = (3 x 108)/( 7.5 x 106 ) =40m

    Corresponding wavelength for ν2 can be calculated as:

    λ2=c/ν2 = (3 x 108)/( 12 x 106 ) =25m

    Thus, the wavelength band of the radio is 40 m to 25 m.
