A sound wave travels in a medium at a speed of 340 m/s. If the wavelength is 1.7 cm, What is the frequency? Will it be an audible sound? ( 20 * 10³Hz; audible)

Solution

Dear Student ,
Here in this case from the given data we can write that ,
frequency , f = speed of sound / wavelength = 340 / ( 1.7x 10^-2) = 20 x 10³ Hz
So the sound will be audible sound .
