I tried finding lambda:
.03 = wavelength/2 --> wavelength = (.03)(2) = .06
Then plugging that into the equation
v = (frequency)(wavelength) --> v = (11996)(.06) = 719.76
But that didn't work.
Reevaluate the comparative length of the path LYM, when the section is pulled out by 0.03 m. The LYM section can be broken up into two parts: the length of the top part and the length of the bottom part.road_runner said:I tried finding lambda:

The formula for calculating wave speed through a gas is v = √(γRT/M), where v is the wave speed in meters per second, γ is the adiabatic index of the gas, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and M is the molar mass of the gas in kilograms per mole.
The speed of sound in a gas is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature. This means that as the temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases.
Yes, the composition of the gas does affect the wave speed. The molar mass and adiabatic index of the gas are both factors in the calculation of wave speed, so a change in the gas composition can result in a change in the wave speed.
Generally, wave speed through a gas is much faster than through a liquid or solid. This is because gases have more space between particles, allowing for faster propagation of waves.
The speed of sound through a gas is affected by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition. Changes in these factors can result in changes in the speed of sound, making it not constant.
