Question

What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz? The speed of sound is 342 m/s.

Answer 1

Answer:

clearly

frequency = 50 Hz

speed = 342 m/s

hence ,

wavelength = speed / frequency

= 342 /50

= 6.84 m

Answer 2

The wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz is 6.84m.

Given:

The frequency of 50 Hz and the speed of sound is 342 m/s.

To Find:

The wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz.

Solution:

To find the wavelength of a sound wave we will follow the following steps:

As we know,

The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of sound =

$\frac{c}{wavelength} = frequency$

$\frac{c}{frequency} = wavelength$

Now,

Putting value in the above formula we get,

$wavelength \: = \frac{342}{50}m =6.84m$

Henceforth, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz is 6.84m.
