Answer:


\boxed{{160 \: m(s)}^( - 1) }

Step-by-step explanation:


if \:the \: frequencies \: are \to \\ f_(1) = 640Hz \\ and \\f_(2) = 480Hz \: \\ but \: \boxed{v = f \gamma }: f = (v)/( \gamma ) \\ if \: \gamma_(1) - \gamma _(2) = 1 = \gamma \\ f_(1) - f_(2) = 640 - 480 = \boxed{ 160Hz} = f \\ v = f \gamma = 160 * 1 = \boxed{{160 \: m(s)}^( - 1) }
