1. The speed of sound is 342 m/s. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz? Show your work.
To find the wavelength of a sound wave, we can use the formula:
wavelength = speed / frequency
In this case, the speed of sound is given as 342 m/s and the frequency is 50 Hz.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
wavelength = 342 m/s / 50 Hz
Simplifying the division, we find:
wavelength = 6.84 m
Therefore, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 50 Hz is 6.84 meters.
