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

The correct Answer is:
2
Here, `v = 220` Hz,
Speed of sound `v = 400"m /s"`
`because v = lambda xx v`
`therefore = lambda xx 220 therefore lambda = 2`m
