A tuning fork creates sound wave with frequency of 170 hertz. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, what is the wave length of the sound wave?
L = V*T = V/F = 340/170 = 2 m.
To find the wavelength of a sound wave, we can use the formula:
Wavelength = Speed of Sound / Frequency
Given that the frequency of the sound wave is 170 Hz and the speed of sound is 340 m/s, let's substitute the values into the formula:
Wavelength = 340 m/s / 170 Hz
Now we can simplify this expression to find the answer:
Wavelength = 2 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is 2 meters.
