Answer: 3
Wavelength = 0.76m
Explanation:
When sound wave is travelling at standard temperature and pressure ( STP), its speed will be equal to normal speed of sound which is equal to 331 m/s
Given that the period of the wave is 0.0023 seconds.
Wave speed = wavelength/period
Substitute the wave speed and the period to obtain wavelength
331 = wavelength/0.0023
Cross multiply
Wavelength = 331 × 0.0023
Wavelength = 0.7613 metre
The wavelength of this sound is closest to 0.76 m
