Question

the pitch of a musical tone varies inversely as its wavelength.one tone has a pitch of 460 vibrations per second and a wavelength of 2.2 meters. find the constant of variation

Answer 1

1012

Explanation:

Given:

pitch 'p' = 460 vibrations per second

wavelength 'w'= 2.2m

'k' represent constant of variation

'k' can be determined by taking the product of pitch and wavelength

k= p.w

k= 460 x 2.2

k= 1012

Therefore,

the constant of variation is 1012
