The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of sound waves in hydrogen gas corresponding to the lower limit of audibility, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Speed of Sound**: The speed of sound in hydrogen gas is given as \( v = 1350 \, \text{m/s} \). 2. **Determine the Lower Limit of Audibility**: The lower limit of audibility for humans is \( f = 20 \, \text{Hz} \). 3. **Use the Wavelength Formula**: The formula to calculate the wavelength \( \lambda \) is: \[ \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \] where \( v \) is the speed of sound and \( f \) is the frequency. 4. **Substitute the Values**: Now, substitute the values of speed and frequency into the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{1350 \, \text{m/s}}{20 \, \text{Hz}} \] 5. **Calculate the Wavelength**: Performing the division: \[ \lambda = \frac{1350}{20} = 67.5 \, \text{m} \] 6. **Final Result**: Thus, the wavelength of sound waves in hydrogen gas corresponding to the lower limit of audibility is \( \lambda = 67.5 \, \text{m} \).
