The most soaring vocal melody is in Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in B minor. In one section, the basses, tenors, altos, and sopr
anos carry the melody from a low D to a high A. In concert pitch, these notes are now assigned frequencies of 146.8 Hz and 880.0 Hz. (Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound, and 1.20 kg/m3 as the density of air.)
a. Find the wavelength of the initial note.
b. Find the wavelength of the final note.
c. Assume the choir sings the melody with a uniform sound level of 70.0 dB. Find the pressure amplitude of the initial note.
d. Find the pressure amplitude of the final note.
e. Find the displacement amplitude of the initial note.
f. Find the displacement amplitude of the final note.
a. Find the wavelength of the initial note.
b. Find the wavelength of the final note.

Explanation:
We can imagine the hotspots in the microwave oven to correspond to the crests of the waves, so the distance between two hotspot is just the wavelength of the waves.
The wavelenght of an electromagnetic wave is given by
where
is the speed of light
f is the frequency of the wave. In this case,
so the wavelength is
