Q

What is the most the actual transmitter frequency could differ from a reading of 156,520,000 Hertz on a frequency counter with a time base accuracy of +/- 10 ppm?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of parts per million (ppm) in terms of frequency error • How to convert ppm to an absolute frequency difference in Hertz • Checking that the units in the answer choices (Hz vs kHz) match your computed result

💭 Think About

• Start by finding 1 ppm of 156,520,000 Hz. What mathematical operation gives you that value? • Once you know the value of 1 ppm, how do you scale it to find the frequency error for 10 ppm? • After you compute the maximum possible frequency difference, which answer choice has the same order of magnitude and correct units?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are treating 10 ppm as 10 parts per million, not 10 percent. • Confirm that your computed difference is expressed in Hertz (Hz) before comparing with the choices. • Double-check any conversion between Hz and kHz: remember that 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz.
