What is the wavelength of a wave that has a speed of 350 meters/second and a frequency of 140 hertzDoes sound travel faster in a warm room or a cold room? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Wavelength of wave is 2.5 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a wave, v = 350 m/s

Frequency of the wave, f = 140 Hz

The formula to find the speed of sound is given by :

[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{350\ m/s}{140\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=2.5 m[/tex]

The speed of sound is more in higher temperature. At higher temperature, the molecules vibrate with more energy. As a result, sound travel faster in a warm room.
