Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

Answer: B

Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Transverse waves have crests and troughs

Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. A compression is where the density of the wave medium is highest. While a rarefaction is where the density of the wave medium is lowest.

Since sound wave is a longitudinal wave. And longitudinal wave exists apart from sound, we can therefore conclude that it's a longitudinal wave in spring.

How does air pressure change with altitude?
charle [14.2K]
Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure
