A tuning fork having a frequency of 312 Hz emits a wave which has a wavelength of 1.10 m. Calculate the velocity of sound
A
312.0 ms\(^{-1}\)
B
110.0 ms\(^{-1}\)
C
343.2 ms\(^{-1}\)
D
686.4 ms\(^{-1}\)
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
v = f \lambda to calculate the wave's velocity.
v = 312 x 1.10
= 343.2m/s
