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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the wavelength of a sound wave, we can use the relationship between the speed of sound (v), frequency (f), and wavelength (λ). The formula is: \[ v = f \times \lambda \] Where: - \( v \) is the speed of sound in the medium (in meters per second, m/s), - \( f \) is the frequency of the sound wave (in hertz, Hz), - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength (in meters, m). ...
