Question:

A radio antenna receiver works at \((10.5 \pm 4.5)\,MHz\) with an effective bandwidth of \(9\,MHz\). The corresponding wavelength bandwidth is:

Show Hint

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related: higher frequency means smaller wavelength.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Find frequency range.
\[ f_{min} = 10.5 - 4.5 = 6\,MHz,\quad f_{max} = 10.5 + 4.5 = 15\,MHz \]

Step 2: Convert to wavelength range.

\[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \]

Step 3: Compute extreme wavelengths.

\[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{6 \times 10^6} = 50\,m \] \[ \lambda_{min} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{15 \times 10^6} = 20\,m \]

Step 4: Bandwidth in wavelength.

\[ \Delta \lambda = 50 - 20 = 30\,m \]

Step 5: Final conclusion.

Thus, wavelength bandwidth is \(30\,m\).

Step 6: Final answer.

\[ \boxed{30\,m} \]
