Question on: JAMB Physics - 2022

A tuning fork that has a frequency of 312Hz emits a wave which has a wavelength of 1.10 m. Find the velocity of sound.

A

312.0 ms\(^{-1}\)

B

110.0 ms\(^{-1}\)

C

343.2 ms\(^{-1}\)

D

686.4 ms\(^{-1}\)

Correct Option: C

To find the velocity of sound, we can use the following formula:

velocity (v) = frequency (f) * wavelength (λ)

Given:

  • Frequency (f) = 312 Hz
  • Wavelength (λ) = 1.10 m

Calculation: v = 312 Hz * 1.10 m = 343.2 m/s
