Question

A sound wave is traveling at 6,420m/s and has a frequency of 600Hz. What is the wavelength?

Answer 1

10.7 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a sound wave, v = 6,420 m/s

The frequency of the wave, f = 600 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the wave. We can find it using the below relation as follows :

`v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=(v)/(f)\\\\\lambda=(6420)/(600)\\\\\lambda=10.7\ m`

So, the wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 10.7 m.
