Question

The speed of sound in air is around 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates at 610 Hz above the open end of the sound resonance tube. What is the wavelength (in cm) of the sound waves in the tube? Never include units with a numerical answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\lambda=56.5cm$

Explanation:

Wavelength is calculated as:

$\lambda=\frac{V}{f}$

Replacing the given values:

$\lambda=\frac{345}{610}$

$\lambda=0.565m$

Converting the result into cm:

$\lambda=56.5cm$
