A guitar string vibrates at 200 Hz. If the wavelength of the sound wave in air is 1.72 m, what is the speed of sound? (Approximately.)
A116 m/s
B344 m/s
C3,440 m/s
D400 m/s
Explanation
📌 v = λf = 1.72 × 200 = 344 m/s (matches standard speed of sound in air). Distractor A: divided; C: extra 10×; D: wrong estimate.
