The 512 Hz tuning fork has twice the frequency of the 256 Hz tuning fork. How does the wavelength of the 512 Hz tuning fork compare to the wavelength of the 256 Hz tuning fork?

Step 1
This means that as the frequency of a tuning fork doubles, the wavelength of the wave it produces will be halved. Show more…

A tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of $256 \mathrm{~Hz}$. (a) When the air temperature increases, the wavelength of the sound from the tuning fork (1) increases, (2) remains the same, (3) decreases. Why? (b) If the temperature rises from $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ what is the change in the wavelength?
