The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates above the open end of a sound resonance tube. If sound waves have wavelengths 58-cm in the tube, what is the frequency (in Hertz) of the tuning fork

Respuesta :

Answer:

594.8 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Speed of sound, v = 345 m/s

Wavelength = 58 cm = 0.58 m

Speed of a wave is given as:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Therefore:

Frequency = Speed/Wavelength

Frequency = 345/0.58

Frequency = 594.8 Hz
