Question

The sound waves are moving at a speed of 331 m/s. The frequency of the waves is 15 Hz. What is the wavelength?

Answer 1

22.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is related to its speed and its frequency by the equation:

`\lambda=(v)/(f)`

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed

`\lambda` is the wavelength

In this problem, we have v = 331 m/s and f = 15 Hz, so we can use the equation above to calculate the wavelength of the wave:

`\lambda=(v)/(f)=(331 m/s)/(15 Hz)=22.1 m`
