If the speed of a wave is 340 m/s and its frequency is 1700 Hz, then λ for this wave in cm will be :
(a) 2
(b) 0.2
(c) 20
(d) 200
Wavelength = velocity / frequency
= 340 / 1700
= 1/5
= 0.2 m option b is correct
A sound wave travels at a speed of 339 m s−1. If its wavelength is 1.5 cm, what is the frequency of the wave? Will it be audible?
