Question

a trombone can be modeled like an open closed air tube. the trombone plays a fifth harmonic of 159 hz. the speed of sound is 343 m/s. what is the wavelength of this sound

Answer 1

The wavelength is 2.16 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

Trombone generate the frequency = 159 Hz

Now we have to find the wavelength of the sound. Here, we can find the wavelength by dividing the speed of the sound with frequency.

The wavelength of the sound = Speed of sound/frequency

Wavelength of the sound = 343 / 159 = 2.16 m
