Question

If a dolphin is producing a vocalization with a frequency of 35 Hz, traveling at 1,470 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sound?

Answer 1

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound produced by the dolphin is approximately 42 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the calculation, we can convert the speed of sound to meters per second (m/s) and the frequency to cycles per second (Hz).

Wavelength = 1470 m/s / 35 Hz Wavelength 42 m/s / 1 Hz
