A sound wave travels at a speed of339ms^(-1) . If its wave length is 1.5cm, What is the frequency of the wave ? Will it be audible?

Answer»



Solution :Speed of sound, `upsilon=3.39ms^(-1)`
WAVE length of sound, `lambda=1.5cm=0.015m`
Speed of sound = wave length x FREQUENCY `= lambda xx upsilon`
Therefore `upsilon=upsilon//lambda = 339//0.015=22600` Hz.
The frequency range of AUDIBLE sound for humans LIES between 20Hz to 20,000 Hz. Since the frequency of the given sound is more than 20,000 Hz, it is not audible.
