Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the globe. One such meteor produced infrasound waves with a wavelength of 6.6 km that propagated 8810 km in 8.67 h. Part A What was the frequency of these waves?

Answer :

Answer:

The frequency of these waves is [tex]4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.6 km

Distance = 8810 km

Time t = 8.67 hr

We need to calculate the velocity of sound

Using formula of velocity

[tex]v = \dfrac{D}{T}[/tex]

Where, D = distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v =\dfrac{8810}{8.67}[/tex]

[tex]v=1016\ km/hr[/tex]

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

[tex]v=n\lambda[/tex]

[tex]n=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]n=\dfrac{1016}{6.6}[/tex]

[tex]n=153.93\ hr[/tex]

[tex]n=\dfrac{153.93}{60\times60}[/tex]

[tex]n=0.0427\ Hz[/tex]

[tex]n=4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz[/tex]

Hence, The frequency of these waves is [tex]4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz[/tex]
