Question

The sound emitted by bats has a wavelength of3.49mm. What is the frequency in air? The speed of sound in air is 343m/s.Answer in units of Hz.

Answer 1

98,280.8 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the wavelength formula.

s = λ f
Note: λ is the wavelength, s is the speed of sound, and f is the frequency.

We are given the speed of sound and the wavelength. Using those 2 values we can solve for the frequency.

But first we have to convert mm to m.

`(1)/(1000)=(x)/(3.49)`

`x=0.00349`

Now we have

`343=0.00349f`

Divide both sides by
`0.00349`

`f=98,280.8`
