Answer:
Wavelength = 1 meters
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of oscillations is 5
It passes through a point in 0.5 s
The speed of sound was recorded to be 10 m/s.
We need to find the wavelength of the sound.
Firstly, we will find frequency of this wave. Total no of oscillations per unit time is called frequency. So,
[tex]f=\dfrac{5}{0.5}\\\\f=10\ Hz[/tex]
Now the speed of wave in terms of wavelength and frequency is given by :
[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]
Here, [tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{10\ m/s}{10\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1\ m[/tex]
So, the wavelength of the sound is 1 meters.
