Answer :
Answer:
D. 256 m/s
Explanation:
[tex]f[/tex] = Frequency of the wave = [tex]16\ \text{Hz}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = Wavelength = [tex]16\ \text{m}[/tex]
Speed of a wave is given by
[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow v=16\times 16[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow v=256\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
The speed of the wave as it passes through the cloud of nitrous oxide is [tex]256\ \text{m/s}[/tex].
