Question 8 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

A flute plays a note with a frequency of 266 Hz. What is the speed of sound if the wavelength is 1.3 m?

Answer
A
102 m/s
B
205 m/s
C
346 m/s
D
692 m/s

Explanation

Use the wave equation: speed = frequency × wavelength. Multiplying 266 Hz by 1.3 m gives 345.8 m/s, which rounds to 346 m/s. Therefore, the correct choice is C, 346 m/s.
