Question
Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m/s in a given medium.
Answer
Given:
Frequency (
\nu) =220 \text{ Hz}Speed (
v) =440 \text{ m/s}
Formula: \text{Speed} = \text{Wavelength} \times \text{Frequency}v = \lambda \times \nu\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}
Calculation:
\lambda = \frac{440}{220}\lambda = 2 \text{ m}
Answer:
The wavelength of the sound wave is 2 m.
