Question

A student using a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz observes that the speed of sound is 340.0 m/s. What is the wavelength of this sound wave

Answer 1

0.066m

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

frequency =512 Hz

The speed of sound is 340.0 m/s.

Required

The wavelength

Step two:

the formula for wavelength is

`v=f \lambda`

`\lambda= v/f`

substitute the given data

`\lambda= 340/514\\\\\lambda= 0.66m`
