ANSWER
5.73 mm
EXPLANATION
Given:
• The frequency of the wave, f = 60 kHz = 60,000 Hz
,• The speed of the wave (sound), v = 344 m/s
Find:
• The wavelength, λ
The wavelength is given by,
[tex]v=f\cdot\lambda[/tex]Solving for λ,
[tex]\lambda=\frac{v}{f}[/tex]Substitute the known values and solve,
[tex]\lambda=\frac{344m/s}{60,000\text{ }cycles/s}\approx5.73\cdot10^{-3}m=5.73mm[/tex]Hence, the wavelength is 5.73 mm, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a millimeter.
