sound wave having certain frequency travel with the speed of 336 m/s and wavelength 3 cm . Calculate the frequency. Will it be audible?

Dear Student,
Speed of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength as:v=fλwhere,f = frequency of the waveλ = wavelength of the waveGiven,speed of sound wave, v = 336 m/swavelength, λ=3 cm=0.03 mSo,frequency of the sound wave, f=vλ=3360.03=11200 HzAudible range for humans = 20 to 20,000 HzThus,the sound wave will be audible.Regards
