A sound wave is determined to have a frequency of 1,000 Hz and a wavelength of 35 cm. What is the speed of this wave? If the sound wave in the previous question is measured in air, what is the temperature of the air? What is the speed of sound in air with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius?

A sound wave moves through the air. Its frequency is 522.32 Hz. The air temperature is 11 °C. Calculate to the nearest tenth of a meter per second, the velocity of the sound in air. a) If the frequency changes to 1090.7 Hz and the air temperature remains 11 °C, calculate to the nearest tenth of a meter per second, the velocity of the sound in air. b) If the frequency remains 1090.7 Hz and the air temperature changes to 45 °C, calculate to the nearest tenth of a meter per second, the velocity of the sound in air. c) Based on the calculations in parts a), b), and c), what conclusion can be drawn?
