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` in a given medium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, frequency of the sound wave, `v = 200` Hz speed of the sound wave, `v = 400"m s"^(-1)`
As `v = upsilon lambda, lambda = (v)/(upsilon) = (440)/(220) = 2`m
