A loudspeaker is placed so that it is in contact with side-by-side regions of air, water, and iron, as shown in the diagram below. The loudspeaker is connected to a tone generator that is turned on and plays a note with a frequency of 200 Hz. In which material would the 200 Hz sound wave have the longest wavelength? In which would it be shortest? Using the simulator 'Grayscale' representation, shade in the boxes in the diagram above to show how the wavelength of the 200 Hz sound wave would be different in each of these materials. Explain your reasoning.

The loudspeaker is connected to a tone generator that is turned on and plays a note with a frequency of 200 Hz. In which material would the 200 Hz sound wave created reach the other end first? Which would be last? Briefly explain how you know. b) In which material would the 200 Hz sound wave have the longest wavelength? In which would it be the shortest? Using the simulator 'Grayscale' representation, shade in the boxes in the diagram above to show how the wavelength of the 200 Hz sound wave would be different in each of these materials.
