What is the wavelength of a 256-hertz sound

Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
3 0
Sound at air in STP travels at 343 m/s.

We also know the formula v=f lambda where v is the velocity, f is the frequency and lambda is the wavelength.

Substituting in values to this, we get:

343 = 256 * lambda
lambda = 343/256
=1.34 3sf

Aaand upon doing this, I realise your textbook wants you to assume the speed of sound to be 330m/s, right then, well changing the value to 330, we get 1.29m

amm1812

Basically the cheetah is running 31.5km/h faster than the gazelle. So to determone how long it will take to cover 9mm at that speed, you have to a lot of work. If you skip all of that work, the answer is 1.60m seconds

As you move farther away from a source emitting a pure tone, the ___________ of the sound you hear decreases.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

frequency

Explanation:

The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to the relation motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

So, when we move farther, the frequency of sound decreases. The formula of the Doppler's effect is  

f' = \frac{v + v_o}{v+ v_s} f

where, v is the velocity of sound, vs is the velocity of source and vo is the velocity of observer, f is the true frequency. f' is the apparent frequency.
