  1. 300 / 99.1 meters


  2. For all electromagnetic radiation, including FM radio, the following applies:



    λ = c/f



    where

    λ is wavelength in cm

    c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^10 cm/s

    f is the frequency = 99.1 x 10^9 Hz



    λ = (3 x 10^10) / (99.1 x 10^9) = 0.30 cm = 3 mm

  3. 1000 mHz = 1 ghz.

    1 ghz = 11.7 inches wavelength. or rounded to one foot.  you figure it out.
