For years, marine scientist were mystified by sound waves detected by underwater microphones in the Pacific Ocean. These so-called T waves were among the purest sounds in nature. Eventually the researchers traced the source to underwater volcanoes whose rising columns of bubbles resonated like organ pipes. A typical T wave has a frequency of 6.8 Hz. Knowing that the speed of sound in seawaver is 1,530 m/s, determine the wavelength of a T wave.

Respuesta :

Answer:

225 m

Explanation:

[tex]f[/tex] = Frequency of the T wave = 6.8 Hz

[tex]v[/tex] = Speed of sound in seawater = 1530 ms⁻¹

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = Wavelength of the T wave

we know that, frequency, speed and wavelength are related as

[tex]wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]

Inserting the values, we get

[tex]\lambda = \frac{1530}{6.8}\\\lambda = 225 m[/tex]
