प्रश्न

Solve the following problem.

A tuning fork of frequency 170 Hz produces sound waves of wavelength 2 m. Calculate the speed of sound.

योग

उत्तर

Given: n = 170 Hz, λ = 2 m

To find: velocity of sound (v)

Formula: v = nλ

Calculation: From formula,

v = 170 × 2

∴ v = 340 m/s

The velocity of sound 340 m/s.
