It turns out that the depth in the ocean to which airborne electromagnetic signals can be detected grows with the wavelength. Therefore, the military got the idea of using very long wavelengths corresponding to about 30 Hz to communicate with submarines throughout the world. If we want to have an antenna that is about one-half wavelength long, how long would that be

Sagot :

Wavelength = speed / frequency.

Wavelength = 3x10^8 m/s / 30 hz

Wavelength = 10 million meters

1/2 wavelength = 5 million meters

(that's about 3,100 miles)

I'm pretty sure the frequency is wrong in the question.

I think it's actually 30 kHz, not 30 Hz.

That makes the antenna about 3.1 miles long.
