Brain surgery. Surgeons can remove brain tumors by using a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator, which produces sound waves of frequency 23.0 kHzkHz . What is the wavelength of these waves in air

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

frequency of wave [tex]\nu =23\ kHz[/tex]

We know velocity is given by

[tex]v=\nu \times \lambda [/tex]

where [tex]\lambda [/tex]=wavelength

[tex]\lambda =\frac{velocity}{\nu }[/tex]

[tex]\lambda =\frac{3\times 10^8}{23\times 10^3}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m[/tex]
