Answer:

Part A: 17 m

Part B: 1.7 x 10⁻²m

Part C: 1.7 x 10⁻⁵m

Explanation:

Equation needed to answer the question:

λ = [tex]\frac{v}{f}[/tex]

where λ is the wavelength, f is the frequency and v is the velocity,

Part A:

Substitute velocity with the speed of sound: 343 m/s

Substitute frequency with the value given: 20 Hz

λ = [tex]\frac{343m/s}{20Hz}[/tex] = 17 m

Part B:

Substitute velocity with the speed of sound: 343 m/s

Substitute frequency with the value given: 20,000 Hz

λ = [tex]\frac{343m/s}{20,000Hz}[/tex] = 1.7 x 10⁻²m

Part C:

Substitute velocity with the speed of sound: 343 m/s

Substitute frequency with the value given: 20,000 Hz

λ = [tex]\frac{343m/s}{20MHz (\frac{10^{6}Hz}{1MHz})}[/tex] = 1.7 x 10⁻⁵m
