A tuning fork of frequency 170 Hz produces sound waves of wavelength 2 m. Calculate speed of sound.

 We can list the given data as,

frequency n = 170Hz

wavelength λ = 2m

To find speed v = ?

Solution – 

velocity , frequency and wavelength is connected by the formula 

v = n x λ 

v = 170 x 2 

v = 340 m/s

The speed of sound is 340m/s
