Question

A frequency generator sends a 550 hz sound wave through both water and ice. what is the difference in wavelength between the wave produced in ice and the wave produced in water? 2.1 m 3.1 m 5.2 m 8.5 m

Answer 1

Hey mate,

You forgot to mention speed of sound in ice and water.

# Given-

speed of sound in water = 1500m/s

speed of sound in ice = 3200m/s

Frequency f = 550Hz.

# Solution-

Velocity of sound is given by

v = λf

λ = v/f

In water,

λ1 = 1500/550

λ1 = 2.73 m

In ice,

λ2 = 3200/550

λ2 = 5.82 m

Difference in wavelength

= λ2 - λ1

= 5.82-2.73

= 3.09 m

Difference in wavelength for wave produced in ice and water is 3.09 m.

Hope this helps you...
