Which of the following is correct formula for calculating wavelength (λ) of a signal in the data communication?

  1. A.

    λ = propagation speed + frequency

  2. B.

    λ = propagation speed × period

  3. C.

    λ = propagation speed + period

  4. D.

    λ = propagation speed × frequency

Attempted by 421 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Wavelength equals propagation speed divided by frequency. Since period is the reciprocal of frequency, wavelength also equals propagation speed multiplied by period.
