Sound travels with a speed of about 330 m/s. What is the wavelength of sound whose frequency is 660Hz.

A

5 m

B

50 m

C

0.5 m

D

500 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Speed of sound `v_(s) = 330` m `s^(-1)`
Frequency of sound, v = 660 Hz
`therefore` Wavelength of sound, `lambda = (v_(s))/(upsilon) = (330)/(660) = 1/2 = 0.5` m
