Detailed Solution

The communication system's supplied wavelength, according to the question, is 800 nm. Thus, using the following formula and the wavelength, we can determine the source frequency:

f=cλ λ=800×10-9m f=3×108800×10-9 f=3.57×1014Hz

Available frequency= 1% of Source frequency

Available frequency= 3.75×1014Hz

1MHz=106Hz

Available frequency

=3.75×1012Hz106 =3.73×106MHz

The formulas below provide the number of channels that can be used to transmit TV signals with a bandwidth of 6 MHz,

No. of channels=Available frequencyTotal bandwidth No. of channels=3.73×1066 No. of channels=6.25×105

Hence the correct answer is 6.25×105.
