D-WAVES (Show ALL Work) 4. The speed of radio waves in air is 3 x 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of radio waves having a frequency of 5 x 105 Hz? 35. What is the frequency of a sound whose speed in air is 330 m/s and whose wavelength is 1.65 m? 36. The frequency of a certain light wave is 6.0 x 1014 Hz. Taking 3.0 x 108 m/s as the speed of light, find the wavelength of these waves.

Older auto-focus cameras sent out a pulse of sound and measured the time interval required for the pulse to reach an object, reflect off of it, and return to be detected. Can air temperature affect the cameras focus? New cameras use a more reliable infrared system.
When sound passes from one medium to another where its propagation speed is different, does its frequency or wavelength change? Explain your answer briefly.
