The frequency of a gamma ray is truly enormous (a natural consequence of how small gamma ray wavelengths are)-a gamma with a relatively larger wavelength (for a gamma
ray) of 8.6x 10 12 meters would have a
frequency of about 3.5 E 19 Hz, or 35 followed by 18 zeros!
Comparatively, the frequencies of radios waves are much smaller, though they might seem really large when you don't have gamma ray frequencies to compare them to. Find the
frequency of a typical radio station, if the wavelength is 5.23 meters.
