Question

A trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. When the trombone is producing a 357 Hz tone, what is the wavelength of that tone in air at standard conditions?

Answer 1

The wavelength of that tone in air at standard condition is 0.96 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. We need to find the wavelength of that tone in air when the trombone is producing a 357 Hz tone.

We know that the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 m/s. Speed of a wave is given by :

`v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=(v)/(f)\\\\\lambda=(343\ m/s)/(357\ Hz)\\\\\lambda=0.96\ m`

So, the wavelength of that tone in air at standard condition is 0.96 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
