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?
See previous post: Sun,1-19-14,2:30PM.
To find the wavelength of a sound wave, you can use the equation:
wavelength = speed / frequency
In this case, the frequency of the sound wave is given as 170 Hz, and the speed of sound is given as 340 m/s.
Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
wavelength = 340 m/s / 170 Hz
Simplifying, we find:
wavelength = 2 m
Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is 2 meters.
