Homework Statement
For a 150 MHz (1 MHz=1 million cycles per second) radio signal, the wavelength is 2 m long. If each wire is about 0.5 m long, a half wavelength of radiation will span the two wires taken as one. The result is that electromagnetic waves are generated in the direction of the arrow, moving away from the transmitter at the speed of light.
Homework Equations
To transmit radiation of wavelength 1, how long should each wire be in multiples of (or fraction of) 1?
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure if this is the answer, but I was thinking the length of the wire could be 0.25m if the wavelength is 1? I don't really understand though, could someone help please? Thanks.
