If the sound waves travel through air at a speed of v =is the wavelength of the sound waves?343 m/s, what Air temperature in the Sahara Desert can reach 57.0°C (about 135°F). What is the speed of sound in air at that temperature?

a. Given data The frequency detected by the bats is given as f = 116 kHz. The speed of the sound wave is given as v = 343 m/s. So, the wavelength of the sound wave is calculated as, λ=fvλ=116×103 Hz343 m/sλ=338.192 m Thus, the wavelength of the sound wave is obtained as 338.192 m.b. Given data The air temperature of the Sahara desert is given as T=57°C. So, the speed of the sound is calculated as, v=331T273m/sv=33157°C+273 K273 m/sv=331×1.099v=363.918 m/s Thus, the speed of the sound wave in the air is obtained as 363.918 m/s.

Concept explainers

Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
