Humans can hear thunder at different frequencies. These correspond to wavelengths ranging

Question

from 2.75 to 16.5 meters. If the speed of sound is approximately 330 m/s, what frequencies of
thunder can humans hear? (1 point)
0.0083 to 0.05 hertz
907.5 to 5,445 hertz
2.75 to 16.5 hertz
20 to 120 hertz

Answer 1

The formula to calculate frequency is speed of sound / wavelength.

For the lower frequency:
Frequency = 330 m/s / 16.5 meters = 20 Hz

For the higher frequency:
Frequency = 330 m/s / 2.75 meters = 120 Hz

Therefore, humans can hear thunder at frequencies ranging from 20 to 120 hertz.
