Question 1120203: The distance between the center of a condensation and the center of an adjacent rarefaction is 65.23 cm. If the frequency is 256.0 Hz, what is the velocity of the waves? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance between the center of a condensation and the center of an adjacent rarefaction is 65.23 cm.
The way I understand this statement, that would be half a cycle
the wavelength of a full cycle then; 2 * 65.23 c = 130.46 cm
:
If the frequency is 256.0 Hz, what is the velocity of the waves?
:
Using the wave length formula; velocity/frequency
W.L. =
130.46 =
v = 130.46 * 256
v = 33397.76 cm/sec ~ 334 meters/sec
