A siren having a ring of 200 hole makes 132 rev/min. A jet of air is directed on the set of holes. Calculate the frequency and wavelength in air of the note produced (take v = 350m/s)

A.

0.795m

B.

0.625m

C.

0.335m

D.

0.125m

Correct answer is A

n = 200, S = 132 rev/min, v = 350m/s\(^2\)

f = ns = 200 × 132 rev
min
× 1min
60s
= 440Hz

 

λ = v
f
= 350
440
= 0.795m
