A communications satellite transmits a radio wave at a frequency of 5.0 x 10⁹ Hz. What is the signal’s wavelength? Assume the wave travels in a vacuum.

• (5.0 x 10^9 Hz) x (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)

• (5.0 x 10^9 Hz) / (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)

• (3.0 x 10^8 m/s) / (5.0 x 10^9 Hz)

• (5.0 x 10^9 Hz) + (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
