Question

    A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and wavelength of

    0.68 m. What is the speed of sound?
    A 340 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 400 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 270 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 220 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Wave speed is given by the formula: v = fλ Substitute f = 500 Hz, λ = 0.68 m: v = 500 × 0.68 = 340 m/s Thus, the speed of sound is 340 m/s.
