FM radio station frequencies are measured in megahertz where 1 equals 1000000 hz what is the period of WKTO 88.7 FM?

To find the period \(T\) of radio station WKTO 88.7 FM, we need to convert the frequency from megahertz (MHz) to hertz (Hz) and then calculate the period using the formula:

$$T = \frac{1}{f}$$

where \(T\) is the period in seconds and \(f\) is the frequency in Hz.

Given frequency: 88.7 MHz

Converting MHz to Hz:

$$88.7 \ MHz = 88.7 \times 1000000 \ Hz = 88700000 \ Hz$$

Now, we can calculate the period:

$$T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{88700000 \ Hz} \approx 1.126 \times 10^{-8} \ seconds$$

Therefore, the period of WKTO 88.7 FM is approximately 1.126 x 10^-8 seconds.
