How are the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave related to its speed ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the relationship between the wavelength (λ), frequency (ν), and speed (v) of a sound wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship We start with the general relationship that speed (v) is a function of wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν). We can express this as: \[ v = k \cdot \lambda^a \cdot \nu^b \] where \( k \) is a constant, and \( a \) and \( b \) are exponents we need to determine. ### Step 2: Identify dimensions ...
