A sound wave has a frequency of 684 Hz in air and a wavelength of 0.53 m. What is the temperature of the air? Assume the velocity of sound at 0◦C is 327 m/s. Answer in units of ◦C.

The temperature of air is 335.52 K or 62.52° C

Explanation:

First, we calculate the speed of sound wave at the temperature 'T'. We know that:

v = f λ

where,

v = speed of sound at temperature T

f = frequency of sound at Temperature T = 684 Hz

λ = wavelength of sound at temperature T = 0.53 m

Therefore,

v = (684 Hz)(0.53 m)

v = 362.52 m/s

Now, the speed of sound at any temperature, T, is given by the formula:

V = Vo√(T/273)

T = (273)(V² /Vo²)

where,

Vo = speed of sound at 0° C = 327 m/s

Therefore,

T = (273)(362.52/327)²

T = 335.52 K = 62.52° C

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.
