Jasmine plays a note of wavelength 22 cm on her clarinet. The speed of
sound in air is 340 m/s. What is the frequency of this note? Give your
answer to 3 significant figures.​

Answer:

Frequency = 1,550Hz

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the equation: [tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

(frequency = velocity/wavelength).

We are given the information that the wavelength is 22cm and the speed is 340m/s. The first step is to make sure everything is in the correct units (SI units), and to convert them if needed. The SI Units for velocity and wavelength are m/s and m respectively. This means we need to convert 22cm into meters, which we can do by dividing by 100, (as there are 100cm in a meter). 22/100 = 0.22m

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and calculate to solve:

[tex]f=\frac{340}{0.22} \\\\f=1545.454...[/tex]

Simplify to 3 significant figures:

f = 1,550Hz

(Which I believe is just below a G6 if you were interested)

Hope this helped!
