Experiments have shown that the maximum wavelength of a sound wave that a healthy person can hear is 17 meters. What would be the frequency of this sound? (The speed of sound is 340 m/s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Use the equation
frequency = speed / wavelength  
(derived from the equation speed = frequency  × wavelength)
Then plugging in the related values:
frequency = 340 m/s / 17 m
frequency = 20 Hz.
