Class 11 Physics
A tuning fork of frequency 170 Hz produces sound waves of wavelength 2 m. Calculate speed of sound.
As per the question the given data is,
frequency n = 170Hz
wavelength λ = 2m
To find speed v = ?
Solution -
velocity , frequency and wavelength is connected by the formula
v = n x λ
v = 170 x 2
v = 340 m/s
The speed of sound is 340m/s
