T4B: Relationship between frequency and wavelength, identification of bands, names of frequency ranges, types of waves

T4B01: What is the name for the distance a radio wave travels during one complete cycle?

Wavelength

Wave speed

Waveform

Wave spread



T4B02: What term describes the number of times that an alternating current flows back and forth per second?

Frequency

Pulse rate

Speed

Wavelength



T4B03: What does 60 hertz (Hz) mean?

60 cycles per second

6000 cycles per second

6000 meters per second

60 meters per second



T4B04: Electromagnetic waves that oscillate more than 20,000 times per second as they travel through space are generally referred to as what?

Radio waves

Gravity waves

Sound waves

Gamma radiation



T4B05: How fast does a radio wave travel through space?

At the speed of light

At the speed of sound

Its speed is inversely proportional to its wavelength

Its speed increases as the frequency increases



T4B06: How does the wavelength of a radio wave relate to its frequency?

The wavelength gets shorter as the frequency increases

The wavelength gets longer as the frequency increases

There is no relationship between wavelength and frequency

The wavelength depends on the bandwidth of the signal



T4B07: What is the formula for converting frequency to wavelength in meters?

Wavelength in meters equals 300 divided by frequency in megahertz

Wavelength in meters equals frequency in Hertz multiplied by 300

Wavelength in meters equals frequency in Hertz divided by 300

Wavelength in meters equals frequency in megahertz divided by 300



T4B08: What are sound waves in the range between 300 and 3000 Hertz called?

Voice frequencies

Test signals

Ultrasonic waves

Radio frequencies



T4B09: What property of a radio wave is often used to identify the different bands amateur radio operators use?

The physical length of the wave

The magnetic intensity of the wave

The time it takes for the wave to travel one mile

The voltage standing wave ratio of the wave



T4B10: What is the frequency range of the 2 meter band in the United States?

144 to 148 MHz

222 to 225 MHz

420 to 450 MHz

50 to 54 MHz



T4B11: What is the frequency range of the 6 meter band in the United States?

50 to 54 MHz

144 to 148 MHz

222 to 225 MHz

420 to 450 MHz



T4B12: What is the frequency range of the 70 centimeter band in the United States?

420 to 450 MHz

144 to 148 MHz

222 to 225 MHz

50 to 54 MHz
