Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave...

Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is `220 Hz` and speed is `440 m//s` in a given medium.

A

1 m

B

4 m

C

1.5 m

D

2 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Here, frequency of the sound wave, `v = 220 Hz`
speed of the sound wave, `v = 440 m//s`
As `v = v lamda, lamda = (v)/(v) = (440)/(220) = 2 m`.
