A sound wave of wavelength `90 cm` in glass is reflected into air. If the speed of sound in glass is `5400 m//s`, the wavelength of wave in air (speed of sound in air `= 330 m//s`) is :

A

55 cm

B

5.5 cm

C

55 m

D

5.5 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(lamda_(1))/(lamda_(2)) = (v_(1))/(v_(2)) = (330)/(5400)`
`lamda_(1) = (330 xx 90)/(5400) = (33)/(6) = 5.5 cm`
