What would be the wavelength of a sound ...

What would be the wavelength of a sound wave in iron ? V = 4950 m/s. If its wavelength was 1.4 m in air in which its speed was 330 m/s

A

0.29 m

B

17 m

C

21 m

D

18 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(lamda_(2))/(lamda_(1)) = (v_(2))/(v_(1))`
`:. lamda_(2) = (v_(2))/(v_(1)) lamda_(1) = (4950 xx 1.4)/(330) = 21m`
