Question

A frequency generator sends a 550 Hz sound wave through both water and ice.

What is the difference in wavelength between the wave produced in ice and the wave produced in water?

Answer 1

B. 3.1 m is the correct answer on edge just took the test

Answer 2

We are given with the frequency value which is 550 Hz and the formula that we can use is shown below:

V = ∧ f

Solving for wavelength on ice:
∧ = v / f
∧ = 3200 / 550
∧ = 5.82

Solving for wavelength in water:
∧ = 1500 / 550
∧ = 2.73

The difference is:
Difference = 5.82 - 2.73
Difference = 3.1

The answer is the letter "B. 3.1 m".
