Question

Calculate the wavelength when the frequency of 40,000 Hz travelling at 1450 m/s in fatty tissue.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.036m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency  = 40000Hz

Speed  = 1450m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the wave velocity equation:

            V  = F ∧  

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

             1450  = 40000 x ∧

                 ∧ = 0.036m
