Question

The speed of sound is about 343 m/s . The wavelengths humans can hear range from .0017 m/cycle to 17m/cycle . What is the range of frequencies we can hear? Please help me !

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

wavespeed = wavelength * frequency

wavespeed / wavelength = frequency

343 / 17 = 20.17 Hz

343 / 0.017 = 201764 Hz

So range of frequencies we can hear is between 20Hz and 20,000 Hz ( or 20.17 to 201764 if you dont round up/down)
