For years, marine scientists were mystified by sound waves detected by underwater microphones in the Pacific Ocean. These so-called T-waves were among the purest sounds in nature. Eventually the scientists traced the source to underwater volcanoes, whose rising columns of bubbles resonated like organ pipes. What is the wavelength of a typical T-wave whose frequency is 7 Hz?

For years, marine scientists were mystified by sound waves detected by underwater microphones in the Pacific Ocean. These so-called T waves were among the purest sounds in nature. Eventually the researchers traced the source to underwater volcanoes whose rising columns of bubbles resonated like organ pipes. What is the wavelength of a typical T wave whose frequency is 7 Hz. Knowing that the speed of sound in seawater is 1530 m/s.

Answer:

the wavelength is 218.5 meters.

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of velocity of sound is the product of frequency and wavelength.

[tex]v=f[/tex]λ

and

λ[tex]=v/f[/tex]

where

[tex]v=1530m/s[/tex]

[tex]f=7Hz[/tex]

Putting the values in equation:

λ [tex]=1530/7[/tex]

λ [tex]=218.5m[/tex]
