Find the minimum and maximum wavelengths of sound in water that is in the audible range (20—20000 Hz) for an average human ear. Speed of sound in water = 1450 m s-1.

Given:
Speed of sound in water
v = 1450 ms−1



Audible range for average human ear = (20-20000 Hz)



Relation between frequency
and wavelength with constant velocity:



(a) For minimum wavelength, the frequency should be maximum.


Frequency


As





(b) For maximum wave length, the frequency should be minimum.
