The speed of sound in steel is 5000 m/s.What is the wavelength of a sound wave of frequency $660 \mathrm {~Hz}$ in steel?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength ($\lambda$) of a sound wave can be calculated using the formula $\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$, where $v$ is the speed of sound in the medium (in this case, steel) and $f$ is the frequency of the sound wave. Substituting $v = 5000 \, \text{m/s}$ and $f = 660 \, \text{Hz}$, we get $\lambda = \frac{5000}{660} \approx 7.58 \, \text{m}$.
