The lowest frequency that we can hear is about 20 hertz. If the speed of sound in air is 340 meters/second, what is the wavelength of that low sound?(1 point)

Which of the following is the best option?

a) 17 m

b) 6,800 m

c) 0.059 m

d) 170 m

1 answer

c) 0.059 m.

To find the wavelength, we use the formula:

wavelength = speed of sound / frequency

Substituting the given values, we get:

wavelength = 340 m/s / 20 Hz = 17 m/s

Therefore, the wavelength of the low sound is 0.059 m.
