Are you positive?

yup

If the frequency of a sound wave is 250 hertz and its wavelength is 1.36 meters, what is the wave's velocity?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
frequency=1/Time wavelength=1.36m is distance travelled now you might get velocity. . .

How do you solve it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have distance you have time =1/frequecy distance over time is speed. . .
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So its 1/250
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[v=\nu \times \omega \]
where nu is frequency and w is wavelenght
OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?

just multiply frequesncy with wavelength and you have the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the frequency and wavelength
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If the frequency of a sound wave is "250 hert"z and its wavelength is "1.36 meters", what is the wave's velocity?
multip[ly them. . . :P :|

What is the speed of sound at a temperature
of 56°C?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
speed of sound doesnt depend upon temperature. . .
