Question

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

Many artists sing very high notes in ad lib ornaments and cadenzas. The highest note written for a singer in a published score was F-sharp above high C, 1.400 kHz, for Zerbinetta in the original version of Richard Strauss's opera Ariadne auf Naxos. (a) Find the wavelength of this sound in the air. (b) In response to complaints, Strauss later transposed the note down to F above high c, 1.397 kHz. By what increment did the wavelength change? m Need Help? Read It

Answer 1

(a) Wanelength of this sound in air , d = e. where we is speed of sound in air ie 343 m/ see Dis frequency of sound , du 343 m = 2450 10 m - 2450 10 m (6) For second cose, x = 1.397 KHZ = 343 = 245.52x10 m 1.3978103 Change in wauelength (increment) = 245.52x107-245x63 = 0.52x10 m An.
