Solution

The correct option is C 170 m/s

$f_{1} = f_{2} \frac{v_{1}}{λ_{1}} = \frac{v_{2}}{λ_{2}} v_{1} = v_{2} \frac{λ_{1}}{λ_{2}} v_{1} = \frac{340 \times 0.2}{0.4} = 170 m / s$

The correct option is C 170 m/s f1=f2v1λ1=v2λ2v1=v2λ1λ2v1=340×0.20.4=170 m/s

The correct option is C 170 m/s

$f_{1} = f_{2} \frac{v_{1}}{λ_{1}} = \frac{v_{2}}{λ_{2}} v_{1} = v_{2} \frac{λ_{1}}{λ_{2}} v_{1} = \frac{340 \times 0.2}{0.4} = 170 m / s$
