An AM radio station broadcasts at 1010 kHz, and its FM partner broadcasts at 98.3 MHz. Calculate and compare the energy of the photons emitted by these two radio stations.

• The wavelength of AM radio station is $v_{AM} = 1010 \mathrm{kHz} = 1010 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{Hz} = 1010 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{s^{-1}}$

• The wavelength of FM radio station is $v_{FM} = 98.3 \mathrm{MHz} = 98.3 \cdot 10^{10^{6}} \mathrm{s^{-1}}$

-The Plank's constant is $h = 6.626 \cdot 10^{-34} \mathrm{J \cdot s}$

Let us find the energy of photons emitted by these two radio stations.

$\bullet$ The energy of AM radio stations is

$$\begin{align*} E_{AM} &= h \cdot v_{AM}\\ &= 6.626 \cdot 10^{-34} \mathrm{J \cdot s} \cdot 1010 \cdot 10^{3} \mathrm{s^{-1}}\\ &= {\color{#4257b2}6.69 \cdot 10^{-28} \mathrm{J}} \end{align*}$$

$\bullet$ The energy of FM radio stations is

$$\begin{align*} E_{FM} &= h \cdot v_{FM}\\ &= 6.626 \cdot 10^{-34} \mathrm{J \cdot s} \cdot 98.3 \cdot 10^{10^{6}} \mathrm{s^{-1}}\\ &= {\color{#4257b2}6.51 \cdot 10^{-26} \mathrm{J}} \end{align*}$$
