Prior to the switch to digital television broadcasting, and to the popularity of cable television, many homes had outdoor TV antennas. TV-reception antennas for VHF (channels 2 through 13) were constructed with cross wires supported at their centers, as shown in the figure below. The ideal length for the cross wires is one-half the wavelength to be received, with the more expensive antennas having one for each channel. Suppose you measure the lengths of the wires for channels 11 and 2 and find them to be 0.340 m and 1.465 m long, respectively. What is the frequency for channel 11? What is the frequency for channel 2?
