What Is the Speed of 200Hz Sound in Air?

In summary, the speed of sound in air is a material property that is independent of frequency and is related to density and elasticity. It can be calculated using the formula v=(331+0.606Tc)m/s, but the temperature of the air is needed for an accurate calculation. Without the temperature, this question cannot be answered simply by dividing 200Hz by 100Hz.

Homework Statement


compared to the speed of 100Hz sound the speed of 200Hz sound through air is?


Homework Equations


i thought i needed the temp of air to fiigure this question out, but the temp is not given? is this question as simple as 200/100 or no??


The Attempt at a Solution



speed of sound in air = v=(331+0.606Tc )m/s?

Speed of sound is independent of the frequency. Otherwise it would be impossible to listen to an orchestra...
 

1. What does 200Hz mean in terms of sound?

200Hz refers to the frequency of a sound wave, which is the number of times a sound wave repeats itself in one second. In this case, 200Hz means that the sound wave is vibrating 200 times per second.

2. How does the speed of sound at 200Hz differ from other frequencies?

The speed of sound in air is largely dependent on the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency sounds, such as 200Hz, travel faster than lower frequency sounds. This is because the higher frequency sound waves have a shorter wavelength, allowing them to travel more quickly through the air.

3. What is the speed of 200Hz sound in air?

The speed of sound at 200Hz in air is approximately 343 meters per second. This is the speed at which the sound wave travels through the air, and it is a constant value regardless of the frequency of the sound.

4. How is the speed of sound at 200Hz measured?

The speed of sound at 200Hz, or any other frequency, can be measured using a variety of methods. One common method is to use an oscilloscope to measure the time it takes for a sound wave to travel a known distance. The speed can then be calculated using the distance and time values.

5. Can the speed of sound at 200Hz be changed?

The speed of sound at 200Hz is a constant value in air, and cannot be changed. However, the speed of sound in other mediums, such as water or solids, can vary depending on factors like temperature and density.
