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»
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. |
