Description
wavelenght w, in meters per cycle, of a musical note is given by w=r/f, where r is the speed of sound and f is the frequency in cycles per second. The speed of sound in the air is 344m/sec. What is the wavelenght of a note whose frequency in air is 33 cycles per second? Round to the nearest tenth of a meter per cycle.
Explanation & Answer
Hello :)
Use this equation to solve:
w=r/f
r = 334 m/sec
f = 33 cycles/sec
Plug in r and f into the equation:
w = (334 m/sec) / (33 cycles/sec)
w = 10.1 meters/cycle
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
