Question:
What is the speed of sound at 24 degrees C?
For a frequency of 3 kHz, how large do you expect the wavelength to be?
Sound Wave:
The speed of sound wave depends on the medium properties, while the frequency of the sound depends on the source frequency. On increasing the temperature of the air, the speed of sound increases, which therefore increases the wavelength of the sound wave.
