(a) Explanation Given info: The frequency of the sound wave is 1.480 kHz and the velocity of the sound is 343 m / s . The expression for the wavelength is, λ = v f Here, f is the frequency. v is the velocity. Substitute 1.480 kHz for f and 343 m / s for v in above expression (b) To determine The displacement amplitude of the sound. (c) To determine The increment in the wavelength if the frequency is 1.397 kHz .
