Answer

$\lambda_{min}=1.0m$ $\lambda_{max}=2.0\times 10^2m$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$ The minimum wavelength is given as $\lambda_{min}=\frac{c}{f_{max}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda_{min}=\frac{3.0\times 10^{8}}{300\times 10^{6}}=1.0m$ The maximum wavelength is given as $\lambda_{max}=\frac{c}{f_{min}}$ $\lambda_{max}=\frac{3.0\times 10^{8}}{1.5\times 10^{6}}=1.0m=2.0\times 10^2m$
