Question

If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is 2.62 m, what is the frequency of this C3 note? (Round your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency: Frequency can be defined as the number of complete oscillation completed by a wave in one seconds. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz ( Hz)

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = v/λ .......................... Equation 2

Where v = Speed, λ = wavelength, f = frequency

Given: v = 343 m/s, λ = 2.62 m.

Substituting these values into equation 2

f = 343/2.62

f = 131 Hz

Thus the frequency of of the note = 131 Hz.
