    4 * 10^2 M

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given;

    Speed of light as 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

    Frequency of radio wave as 7.5 * 10^5 Hz

    We are required to determine the wavelength.

    Using the formula;

    wavelength, λ = v/f

    Note; Radio wave is an electromagnetic wave, therefore travels with the speed of light.

    Therefore;

    wavelength, λ = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s : 7.5 * 10^5 Hz

    = 4 * 10^2 M

    Hence, the wavelength of the radio wave is 4 * 10^2 M
