A tuning fork having a frequency of 312 Hz emits a wave which has a wavelength of 1.10 m. Calculate the velocity of sound
Answer Details
The velocity of sound is given by the formula: velocity = frequency × wavelength We are given the frequency of the tuning fork, which is 312 Hz, and the wavelength of the sound wave, which is 1.10 m. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: velocity = 312 Hz × 1.10 m velocity = 343.2 m/s Therefore, the velocity of sound in this scenario is 343.2 m/s. This is the speed at which sound waves are travelling through the medium (which could be air, water, etc.).
