Answer:
λ = 2.5m
Explanation:
Given the following :
Speed of sound (v) = 10m/s
If 5 oscillations pass through a point in 0.5seconds;
Time taken (period) for 1 oscillation is :
Number of oscillations / total time taken
5 / 0.5 = 0.25 seconds
Wavelength, period and Velocity are related by the formula:
v = λ / T
λ = v * T
λ = 10 * 0.25
λ = 2.5 m
