A student uses a 320 Hz tuning fork during a lab investigation into the speed of sound. If the air temperature in the classroom is 20 degrees Celsius, what is the wavelength of the sound waves produced by the tuning fork?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
