Dolphins make sounds in air and water. What is the ratio of the wavelength of a sound in air to its wavelength in seawater if the speed of sound in water at that specific location is 1530 m/s and the air temperature is 25.00°C?
Homework Answers
Speed of sound in air vs temperature
s = (331 + 0.606T) m/s
T is temperature in ºC
s= (331 + 0.606*25° C)
s = 346 m/s
air λ = s/f = 340/f
sea λ = s/f = 1530/f
ratio air/sea = 340/f / 1530/f = 340/1530 = 0.223

Middle C has a speed of 1500 m/s in water and 340 m/s in air. Does it have a longer or shorter wavelength in water than in air and why? 1. Shorter; the speed of sound is greater in water than in air. 2. Shorter; water is denser than air. 3. Longer; the speed of sound is greater in water than in air. 4. Longer: water is denser than air.
