Question

A bell rings at a frequency of 75hz on a warm 25 degree evening. calculate the...

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

We need 2 different equations for this problem: first the velocity of sound equation, then the frequency of the sound equation.

The velocity of sound is found in:

v = 331.5 + .606T

We need to find that first in order to fill it into the frequency equation which is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where v is the velocity we will find the part a, f is frequency and lambda is the wavelength. Starting with the velocity of the sound:

v = 331.5 + .606(25) and

v = 331.5 + 15 and rounding correctly using the rules for sig fig when adding:

v = 347 m/s

Filling that into the frequency equation:

$75=\frac{347}{\lambda}$ and

$\lambda=\frac{347}{75}$ so

$\lambda=4.6m$
