Chapter 15, Problem 3STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 3STP

The answer is C- $\text{1}\text{.18 m}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Speed of sound in air is $\text{351 m/s}$ .

Frequency of the note is $\text{298 Hz}$ .

Formula used:

The formula used to find the wavelength is

  $\text{wavelength}=\frac{\text{velocity of sound in air}\left(c\right)}{\text{frequency}}$

Calculation:

Substituting the given values, we get

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{wavelength}=\frac{351}{298}\\ =1.17785235\\ =\text{1}\text{.18 m}\left(\text{approximately}\right)\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence the answer is C- $\text{1}\text{.18 m}$ .
