Math Problem Statement

Sound wave having frequency 400 Hz and wave length 30 m then find its velocity

Solution

The velocity vv of a wave can be calculated using the formula:

v=fλv = f \cdot \lambda

Where:

  • ff is the frequency of the wave.
  • λ\lambda is the wavelength of the wave.

Given:

  • f=400Hzf = 400 \, \text{Hz}
  • λ=30m\lambda = 30 \, \text{m}

Substitute these values into the formula:

v=40030v = 400 \cdot 30

v=12,000m/sv = 12,000 \, \text{m/s}

Final Answer:

The velocity of the sound wave is 12,000m/s12,000 \, \text{m/s}.
