Homework Statement
Particles approximately 3.0 X 10-2 cm in diameter are to be scrubbed loose from machine parts in an aqueous ultrasonic cleaning bath. Above what frequency should the bath be operated to produce wavelengths of this size and smaller?
Homework Equations
speed of sound in water = 1500 m/s
frequency = (speed of sound)/wavelength
The Attempt at a Solution
1500x10^4/3 = 5x10^6 Hz
does this sound right?
