Question

1.Predict the frequency of a tuning fork that emits a sound with a wavelength of 0.385 m.

2.A fork displays a reading of 384 Hz. Calculate the wavelength of the sound as it travels through .

How would I solve these questions??

Answer 1

1.) Frequency F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Given that the wavelength = 0.385m

The speed of sound = 343 m / s

To predict the frequency, let us use the formula V = F λ

Where (λ) = wavelength = 0.385m

343 = F × 0.385

F = 343/0.385

F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Given that the frequency = 384Hz

Using the formula again

V = F λ

λ = V/F

Wavelength (λ) = 343/384

Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

The two questions can be solved with the use of formula
