What is the wavelength of a sound wave that has a speed of 340 m/s and a frequency of 880 hz? what is the wavelength of a sound wave that has a speed of 250 m/s and a frequency of 400 hz? what is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 50 hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m? what is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 100 hz and a wavelength of 0.50 m?
To get the answer first you need to utilize the equation below:
v = fλ
since the problem is looking for the wavelength, then we need to change the equation:
λ = v/f
λ = 340 \(\frac{m}{s}\) / 440 s\(^{-1}\)
λ = 0.773m
Therefore the sound wave has a wavelength of 0.773m.
