If the speed of sound is 1100 feet per second and a tuning fork oscillates at 440 cycles per second, what is the wavelength $\lambda$ of the sound produced?
A) 0.4 foot
B) 2.5 feet
C) 4.4 feet
D) 11 feet

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for wavelength is:
wavelength = speed of sound / frequency

Substituting the given values, we get:
wavelength = 1100 / 440
wavelength = 2.5 feet

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

If the Speed of Sound Is 1100 Feet Per Second λ\lambdaλ

If the Speed of Sound Is 1100 Feet Per Second $\lambda$
