Chapter 16, Problem 16.9E
An oscillator vibrating at 1250 Hz produces a sound wave that travels through an ideal gas at 325 m/s when the gas temperature is 22.0°C. For a certain experiment, you need to have the same oscillator produce sound of wavelength 28.5 cm in this gas. What should the gas temperature be to achieve this wavelength?

A sound wave has a frequency of 632 Hz in air and a wavelength of 0.51 m. What is the temperature of the air? Assume the velocity of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s. Answer in units of °C.
A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 81.8 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 41.8 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.
The speed of sound in an ideal gas (not air) is 750 m/s at -50°C. What is the speed of sound in the same gas at T = 55°C? The absolute zero temperature is -273.15°C.
The speed of sound, cs(T = 55°C) = Units
