Sound waves travel with a speed of about `330m//s`. what is the wavelength of sound whose frequency is 550 hertz?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, Speed of waves, `v = 330 m//s`
Frequency of waves, `f = 550 Hz`
And, Wavelength, `lambda = ?` (To be calculated)
Now, `v = f xx lambda`
So, `330 = 550 xx lambda`
`lambda = (330)/(550)`
`lambda = 0.6m`
Thus, the wavelength of sound waves is 0.6 metre.
