Question 371793: A favorite rock n' roll radio station during my teen years was 980 WTRY (Troy, NY), where the number represents the broadcast frequency in kHz. Determine a possible combination of inductance and capacitance that will make its oscillator resonate at the proper frequency.
I have been working on this physics problem forever. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

f=1%2F%282%2Api%2Asqrt%28LC%29%29
LC=1%2F%284%2Api%5E2%2A%28f%29%5E2%29

.
Units are f-Hertz, L-inductance in Henrys, C-capacitance in farads.
.
.
.
980 kHz=980000 Hz

LC=1%2F%284%2Api%5E2%2A%28980000%29%5E2%29
.

highlight%28LC=2.6375x10%5E%28-14%29%29

Choose appropriate values for L and C in the units shown above.
