PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
A tuning fork of 500 Hz is struck in a room with a speed of sound of 340 m/s. What is the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound?

Answer :

Lanuel

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.68 meters.

Explanation:

Wavelength gives the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound.

Given the following data;

Frequency = 500 Hz

Speed of sound = 340 m/s

To find the wavelength;

Wavelength = speed/frequency

Wavelength = 340/500

Wavelength = 0.68 meters
