A small hummingbird flying around beats its wings with a frequency of 170 Hz. If the wavelength of the sound wave produced is 2 m, what is the speed of the sound wave?

Respuesta :

The given information in the question is :

Frequency = 170 Hz

1 Hz = [tex] \frac{1}{s} [/tex]

Frequency = 170 [tex] \frac{1}{s} [/tex]

Wavelength given = 2 m

Speed is unknown which we need to calculate.

Speed can be calculated by using the formula : Speed = wavelength X frequency

By plugging the value of wavelength and frequency in the above formula we get :

Speed = [tex](2m)\times (170\frac{1}{s})[/tex]

Speed = 340[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
