How long will it take a radio wave with a wavelength of 3.0 x 10^4 m to travel from Jupiter to Earth?

radio waves travel as 'c', the wavelength is not important.

5.88 x 10^8 km (1000m/km)(1 sec/3.00 x 10^8m)

= 1960 sec

= 1960 sec (1min/60s) = 32.7min

32.7 minutes

d = 588 million kilometer

velocity of light c = 300 thousand kilometers per second

t = v/c = 588,000,000 km/300,000 km per seconds = 1960 seconds = 32.7 minutes

Radio waves Like Light are part of Electromagnetic energy, from a different part of the Spectrum. They travel at the same speed as Light. At opposition, Jupiter comes as near as (about) 4 AU, which means Radio takes 2000 seconds (33 minutes 20 seconds) to reach us from there.

Distnace to Jupiter = 588,000,000 Km

Speed of light = 300,000 Km/Sec

588000000/300000 = 1960 seconds

1960 / 60 = 32.7 minutes

The WAVELENGTH is not important. ALL radio wave, regardless of their wavelength, travel at the speed of light.

32.7 minutes. The wavelength doesn't matter.

588,000,000 km / 299,000 km/sec = 1967 seconds, or about 32.7 minutes.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light.

So calculate the distance to Jupiter in light minutes. It has nothing to do with the wavelength.

The wavelength is irrelevant for this problem. Use the speed of light in your calculation.
