A sound wave travels at a speed of `339 m//s`. If its wavelength is `1.5 cm`, what is the frequency of the wave ? Will it be audible ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the frequency of a sound wave given its speed and wavelength. We will use the formula that relates speed (V), frequency (f), and wavelength (λ): ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Speed of sound (V) = 339 m/s - Wavelength (λ) = 1.5 cm ...
