2. 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.
The formula to calculate the wavelength of a sound wave is:
wavelength (λ) = speed of sound (v) / frequency (f)
Given:
speed of sound (v) = 342 m/s
frequency (f) = 50 Hz
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
wavelength (λ) = 342 m/s / 50 Hz
Now, let's calculate the value:
wavelength (λ) = 6.84 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz is 6.84 meters.
