ok I am in consepual physics 7th edition by paul g hewit and the sound section makes no sense... It is really badly written ie it tells about media storage but not about sound...
ok here is my problem:
chapter 18 it says that speed of a wave = frequency * wavelength
chapter 19 it says that the speed of sound does not depend on the frequency with no further explenation other than to say that the speed of sound changes with diferences in weather.
can someone bring some sense to this?
does this mean that the wavelength of a 'c' note changes based on the condition since the frequency of a 'c' note is always the same?
