Problem

A tuning fork produces waves of frequency 500 Hz500\,\text{Hz} in air. The wavelength of these waves in air is 0.66 m0.66\,\text{m}. The same waves enter a liquid where the speed of sound is 1250 m/s1250\,\text{m/s}. Answer the following: (a) Calculate the speed of sound in air using the given data. (b) State the frequency of the wave in the liquid. (c) Determine the wavelength of the wave in the liquid.
