Where:
- wavelength
- speed of sound
-lower frequency
- high frequency
Calculation
First, we will put known values into the equation that determines the wavelength and calculate it at the lower limit:
=34.3m
Next, we will put known values into the equation that determines the wavelength and calculate it at the upper imit:
=0.01715m
