3) the medium of air has a wavelength of 0.334 m, the medium of water has a wavelength of 1.493 m, and the medium of 5.130 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1a)
Given the velocity/speed, and frequency of the wave, the length can be calculated using these two quantites.
[ λ = v / f ] wavelength = velocity of the wave / frequency of the wave in Hz.
Since 3 × 10^8 × ms^-1 is the velocity, and 350Hz is the frequency.
Anything to the negative power is reciprocated. i.e ms^-1 = m/s.
The wavelength is 300000000m/350Hz = 857142.8571428..... m ≈ 857143 m
Question 1b) Given that the frequency of the second wave in water is 1% of the first wave, and the speed of the second wave is 1450ms^-1
Therefore the second wave has a frequency of 1% of 3.5 = 350/100 Hz = 3.5 Hz
The wavelength is found using the same
formula: wavelength = 1450m/3.5Hz = 414.2857142857.... m ≈ 414 m
Question 2a)
Question 2b)
Question 3) Remember, the speed of sound of the medium = frequency of the medium × wavelength of the medium.
Therefore the wavelength of the medium = speed of sound of the medium / frequency of the medium. This has a similar correlation to the wavelength formula. We are given that all these mediums have a frequency of 1KHz = 1000Hz, where So the wavelength of each medium =
