How hot would a source need to be to emit its maximum radiation in the FM range of the radio dial (105.8 MHz)? Why do common objects not interfere with our radio reception?

Answer #1

f = frequency = 105.8 x 106 Hz

c = speed of radiation = 3 x 108 m/s

Wavelength of the radiation is given as

= c/f

= (3 x 108)/(105.8 x 106)

= 2.84 m

Temperature of radiation is given as

T = b/

T = 2.898 x 10-3 /2.84

T = 0.00102 K = 1.02 x 10-3 K

common objects do not inteference because the wavelength is large and not comparable with the wavelength of the objects.
