Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave...

Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m`s^(-1)` in a given medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, frequency (v)=220 Hz:Speed (v)=440 `ms^(-1)` ,wavelength (`lambda`)=?
u=`vlambda therefore lamba=(u)/(v)=(440 ms^(-1))/(220 Hz)=2m`
The wavelength of the sound wave is 2 m.
