Question 13
The variation of density of medium for a sound wave propagating with a speed of 340 m s⁻¹ is shown in Fig. 10.32. Calculate the wavelength and frequency of the sound wave.
View Answer Hide Answer
  • From Fig. 10.32 the wavelength (one full compression-to-compression) is λ=8 cm =0.08 m .
  • Frequency ν= v λ = 340 0.08 = 4250 Hz .
Wavelength and Frequency Wavelength = 8 cm = 0.08 m nu = v / lambda = 340 / 0.08 Frequency = 4250 Hz
Back to: 10.6.1 Wavelength, frequency and time period
