A tuning fork produces a sound with a frequency of 277 Hz and a wavelength in air of
1.21 m.
What value does this give for the speed of
sound in air?
Answer in units of m/s
freq*wavelength=speedsound
What would be the wavelength of the wave
produced by this tuning fork in water in which
sound travels at 1500 m/s?
Angel, same equation, solve for wavelength.
Oh I'm sorry. Really stressed and can't think straight.
To find the speed of sound in air, we can use the formula:
Speed of Sound = Frequency × Wavelength
Given that the frequency of the sound produced by the tuning fork is 277 Hz and the wavelength in air is 1.21 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Speed of Sound = 277 Hz × 1.21 m
Now, let's multiply the values:
Speed of Sound = 335.17 m/s
Therefore, the speed of sound in air is approximately 335.17 m/s.
