The sound wave with a <u>frequency of 20</u> waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a <u>frequency of 16,000</u> waves/sec
<h3>Calculating wavelength </h3>
From the question, we are to determine how many times longer is the first sound wave compared to the second sound water
Using the formula,
v = fλ
∴ λ = v/f
Where v is the velocity
f is the frequency
and λ is the wavelength
For the first wave
f = 20 waves/sec
Then,
λ₁ = v/20
For the second wave
f = 16,000 waves/sec
λ₂ = v/16000
Then,
The factor by which the first sound wave is longer than the second sound wave is
λ₁/ λ₂ = (v/20) ÷( v/16000)
= (v/20) × 16000/v)
= 16000/20
= 800
Hence, the sound wave with a <u>frequency of 20</u> waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a <u>frequency of 16,000</u> waves/sec

Step-by-step explanation:
all work is pictured/shown
The answer should be 2.2, or as a fraction from 2 and 1/5
as 2 and 3/4 can be changed to 2.75 and 4/5 can be changed to 0.8
