Question

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

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

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

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

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.
