Question
If the velocity of sound in air is 340m/s, find a) wavelength when frequency is 256Hzb) frequency when wavelength is 0.85m
Solution
a) The formula to find the wavelength (λ) is given by the speed of sound (v) divided by the frequency (f). So, λ = v/f.
Substituting the given values, we get λ = 340m/s / 256Hz = 1.328125m.
b) The formula to find the frequency (f) is given by the speed of sound (v) divided by the wavelength (λ). So, f = v/λ.
Substituting the given values, we get f = 340m/s / 0.85m = 400Hz.
