Problem

A sound wave of frequency 500 Hz500\,\text{Hz} travels in air with speed 340 m/s340\,\text{m/s}. On entering water its speed becomes 1500 m/s1500\,\text{m/s} while its frequency remains unchanged. Calculate its wavelength in water. (a) 1.50 m1.50\,\text{m} (b) 0.68 m0.68\,\text{m} (c) 3.0 m3.0\,\text{m} (d) 1.84 m1.84\,\text{m}
