Question

The velocity of sound on a particular day outside is 331 meters/second. What is the frequency of a tone if it has a wavelength of 0.6 meters?
5.52 × 102 hertz

2.56 × 102 hertz

459 × 102 hertz

675 × 102 hertz

990 × 102 hertz

Answer 1

Answer:
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Explanation:
the equation that relates velocity, frequency and wavelength is:
velocity = frequency * wavelength

We are given that:
velocity = 331 m/sec
wavelength = 0.6 m

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the frequency as follows:
velocity = frequency * wavelength
331 = frequency * 0.6
frequency = 331 / 0.6
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Hope this helps :)
