Answer: 6.12metres
Explanation:
The wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ
Recall that Wavespeed (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ
V = F λ
In this case,
Wavespeed of sound = 1530 m/s
Frequency of sound = 2.50 x 10^2 Hz
Wavelength = ? (let the unknown value be Z)
Apply V = F λ
1530 m/s = 2.50 x 10^2 Hz x Z
Z = (1530 m/s / 2.50 x 10^2 Hz)
Z = (1530 m/s / 250Hz)
Z = 6.12m
Thus, the wavelength of sound in sea water is 6.12m
