Question

A flute plays a note that is 243 Hz. The wavelength of the sound is 1.10. How fast is the sound wave moving?

Answer 1

The speed of sound can be calculated using the formula:v = fλwhere:

v = speed of sound

f = frequency of the sound wave

λ = wavelength of the sound waveGiven that:

f = 243 Hz

λ = 1.10 mSubstituting these values into the formula, we get:v = (243 Hz)(1.10 m)

v = 267.3 m/sTherefore, the speed of the sound wave is 267.3 m/:
