A tuning fork having a frequency of 312 Hz emits a wave which has a wavelength of 1.10 m. Calculate the velocity of sound

  • A. 312.0 ms-1
  • B. 110.0 ms-1
  • C. 343.2 ms-1
  • D. 686.4 ms-1

Correct Answer: C. 343.2 ms-1

Explanation

v = f λ to calculate the wave's velocity.

v = 312 x 1.10

= 343.2m/s
