What is the speed of sound in water if a source of oscillations with a period of 0.005 s causes

What is the speed of sound in water if a source of oscillations with a period of 0.005 s causes a wave with a length of 7.175 m?

We calculate the speed of sound in water using the formula:

V = λ / T, where λ is the sound wavelength in water (λ = 7.175 m), T is the oscillation period of the source in water (T = 0.005 s).

Let’s calculate the speed of sound propagation in water:

V = λ / T = 7.175 / 0.005 = 1435 m / s = 1.435 km / s.

Answer: The speed of sound in water is 1435 m / s or 1.435 km / h.
