A tuning fork vibrating at 200 Hz is placed under water. If sound travels 1500 m/s through water, what is the wavelength of this sound wave?
300,000 m
7.5 m
0.13 m
1300 m
It is B, thank you.
answer is B
v= frq x wavelenth
1500 m/s = 200 hz * wavelength
I would pick that.

Sorry, I didn't understand that. Can you please provide more context or clarify your response?
To find the wavelength of a sound wave, you can use the formula:
Wavelength = Speed of Sound / Frequency
Given that the frequency is 200 Hz and the speed of sound through water is 1500 m/s, we can substitute these values into the formula to determine the wavelength.
Wavelength = 1500 m/s / 200 Hz
Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is:
Wavelength = 7.5 m
Therefore, the correct answer is 7.5 m.
