Chapter 11, Problem 37P

To determine

To Find: The wavelength of the wave.

Answer to Problem 37P

The wavelength of the wave is $1.31\text{ m}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

Frequency of sound wave in air, $f=262\text{ Hz}$

Speed of sound in air, $v=343\text{ m/s}$

Formula used:

The expression for Wave speed.

  $v=f\times \lambda$

Here,

  $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the sound wave in air,

  $f$ is frequency of wave.

Calculation:

Substitute the given values in the above expression,

  $\lambda =\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{262}=1.31\text{ m}$

Conclusion:

Thus, the wavelength of the wave is $1.31\text{ m}$ .
