What frequency sound has a 0.10-m wavelength when the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
Question:
What frequency sound has a 0.10-m wavelength when the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
Velocity, Frequency, and Wavelength:
The frequency f (measured in Hertz) is the count of cycles per second. The frequency is related to the speed v and the wavelength {eq}\lambda {/eq} by the following equation: {eq}v = f\lambda {/eq}. By using a change of subject of the formula, we can calculate any of the three quantities provided we have any of the two.
