Short Answer

Calculate the speed of sound on a day when a 1500 Hz frequency has a wavelength of 0.221 m.

The speed is 331.5 m/s.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Given Data

The frequency is f = 1500 Hz .

The wavelength is $λ = 0.221 m$ .

Step 2: Explanation

The product of the wavelength and frequency of the wave gives us the velocity with which the wave is traveling.

Step 3: Solution

The speed of a wave is given by,

$V = f λ$

For, $λ = 0.221 m$ and f = 1500 Hz ,

$v = 1500 H z \times 0.2210 m = 331.5 m / s$

The velocity of the given wave is 331.5 m/s
