We know the frequency range of certain sounds are: 400-560 Hz, what are the ranges of wavelength in meters when the signal transmits in air?

Answer:

Range of wavelength will be
5.35* 10^5m to
7.5* 10^5m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given range of frequency is 400-560 Hz

Speed of the light
c=3* 10^8m/sec

We have to find the range of the wavelength of signal transmitted

Ween know that velocity is given by
v=\lambda f, here
\lambda is wavelength and f is frequency

So for 400 Hz frequency wavelength will be
\lambda =(c)/(f)=(3* 10^8)/(400)=7.5* 10^5m

And wavelength for frequency 560 Hz
\lambda =(c)/(f)=(3* 10^8)/(560)=5.35* 10^5m

So range of wavelength will be
5.35* 10^5m to
7.5* 10^5m
