A sound wave coming from a tuba has a wavelength of 1.50 m and travels to your ears at a speed of 345 m/s.What is the frequency of the sound you hear?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can use the formula: speed of sound = frequency x wavelength
Rearranging this formula, we get:
frequency = speed of sound / wavelength
Substituting the given values, we get:
frequency = 345 m/s / 1.50 m = 230 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the sound we hear is 230 Hz.
