A tuning fork produces a wave at 280 Hz and with a wavelength of 1.5 m. Calculate its velocity.

Given:

280 Hz
1.5m
280*1.5= 420m/s
Final answer:
V=420m/s

420m/s.

Well, let's see... A tuning fork that produces a wave at 280 Hz and with a wavelength of 1.5 m... That's some fancy fork!

Anyway, to calculate the velocity of the wave, we can use the equation:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

So, plugging in the values we have, we get:

velocity = 280 Hz × 1.5 m

And if we do the math, the velocity of this "musical" wave is:

velocity = 420 m/s

And that, my friend, is the speedy sound produced by the tuning fork!

To calculate the velocity of the wave, we can use the formula:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

Given that the frequency is 280 Hz and the wavelength is 1.5 m, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for velocity:

velocity = 280 Hz × 1.5 m

Calculating the product:

velocity = 420 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the wave produced by the tuning fork is 420 m/s.

d = VT = V*(1/f) = Wavelength,

V = d/T = df = 1.5 * 280 = 420m/s.
