Find the wavelength of the highest-frequency sound that a dog can hear, about $50 \mathrm{kHz}$.
Humans can hear frequencies up to approximately 20,000 Hz, while dogs can hear frequencies up to around 60,000 Hz. What sound frequency would you expect to be emitted by a dog whistle, which can be heard by dogs but not by humans?

A dog can hear sounds in the range from 15 to 50,000 Hz. What wavelength corresponds to the upper cut-off point of the sounds at 20°C where the sound speed is 344 m/s? Answer in units of m.
