1. The speed of sound is 342 m/s. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz? Show your work.
To find the wavelength of a sound wave, you can use the formula:
wavelength = speed of sound / frequency
Given:
Speed of sound (v) = 342 m/s
Frequency (f) = 50 Hz
Using the formula, we can substitute these values:
wavelength = 342 m/s / 50 Hz
Dividing the speed of sound by the frequency:
wavelength = 6.84 m
So, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz is 6.84 meters.
