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.
The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).
