A tuning fork produces a wave at 280 Hz and with a wavelength of 1.5 m. Calculate its velocity.
Given:
280 Hz
1.5m
280*1.5= 420m/s
Final answer:
V=420m/s
420m/s.
Well, let's see... A tuning fork that produces a wave at 280 Hz and with a wavelength of 1.5 m... That's some fancy fork!
Anyway, to calculate the velocity of the wave, we can use the equation:
velocity = frequency × wavelength
So, plugging in the values we have, we get:
velocity = 280 Hz × 1.5 m
And if we do the math, the velocity of this "musical" wave is:
velocity = 420 m/s
And that, my friend, is the speedy sound produced by the tuning fork!
To calculate the velocity of the wave, we can use the formula:
velocity = frequency × wavelength
Given that the frequency is 280 Hz and the wavelength is 1.5 m, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for velocity:
velocity = 280 Hz × 1.5 m
Calculating the product:
velocity = 420 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the wave produced by the tuning fork is 420 m/s.
d = VT = V*(1/f) = Wavelength,
V = d/T = df = 1.5 * 280 = 420m/s.
