Problem

A tuning fork of frequency 500 Hz500\,\text{Hz} is sounded first in air, where the speed of sound is 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}, and then in water, where the speed of sound is 1480 m/s1480\,\text{m/s}. What is the approximate ratio of its wavelength in water to that in air? (a) 0.230.23 (b) 4.44.4 (c) 1.01.0 (d) 2.22.2
