Question 418: Waves

Question

The frequency of a tuning fork is $$220 \mathrm{~Hz}$$ and the velocity of sound in air is $$330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$. When the tuning fork completes 80 vibrations, the distance travelled by the

Accepted Answer

$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}=220 \mathrm{~Hz}, v=330 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \
& v=\mathrm{f} \lambda \
& \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{330}{220}=\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}$$
Distance travel by 80 vibrations is
$$80 	imes \frac{3}{2}=120 \mathrm{~m}$$
