Question 3
Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m/s in a given medium.
Open in App
Solution
Frequency of the sound wave, v=220Hz
Speed of the sound wave, V=440ms−1
For a sound wave, Speed=Wavelength×Frequency=λ×v ∴λ=440220=2m
Hence, the wavelength of the sound wave is 2 m.
