Determine the wavelength of sound


Problem: The speed of a wave is the frequency multiplied by the wavelength. If a 200Hz sound travels through the following materials, use the given table of speeds of sound to determine the wavelength of sound:

  • Air (20C)
  • Steel
  • Human Tissue

Material          Speed (m/s)

Air (20C)             344

Helium               1,006

Water                 1,440

Human tissue     1,540

Aluminum          5,100

Granite               4,000

Iron and steel     5,200
