Question
A sound is travelling in air at a speed of 343 ms1. The wavelength of the sound wave is 0.1 cm. Find the frequency of the sound wave.
Options:
A .  543000 Hz
B .  343000 Hz
C .  400000 Hz
D .  633000 Hz
Answer: Option B
:
B
Given:
Speed of the sound, v=343ms1
Wavelength, λ=0.1cm=0.001m
Let frequency be f.
Speed of the wave is given as the product of frequency and wavelength.
v=fλ
f=343ms10.001m
f=343000Hz
Frequency of the sound wave is 343000Hz.
