The wavelength of a radio wave in a vacuum is 295 meters. Calculate its wavelength in water? (nwater = 1.33)

The wavelength of the  radio wave in water is 222nm

The relationship between the refractive index  wavelengths in a vacuum and in water is given by:

n = λ1/λ2

So,

let λ1 be the wavelength of light in a vacuum

λ2 be the wavelength of light in water.

nwater = 1.33

Plugging in values, we have

n = λ1/λ2

1.33 =295 m /λ2

λ2 = 295 m/1.33

 = 221.80nm

 ≈222nm

Therefore the wavelength of radio wave in water is 222mn.
