A sound wave has a wavelength

of 0.0325 m and a frequency of

9380 Hz. What is the speed of

the wave?

(Unit = m/s)

The speed of wave is 304.85 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is the measure of rate of motion of any object. So in other words, it can be determined as the product of wavelength and frequency. As wavelength is the measure of distance covered or the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. And frequency is inversely proportional to the time period of complete cycle.

Thus, speed = Wavelength * Frequency

As here the wavelength is given as 0.0325 m and the frequency is given as 9380 Hz, then

Speed of wave = 0.0325 * 9380 = 304.85 m/s

So the speed of wave is 304.85 m/s.
