The wavelength of ultrasonic waves in air is of the order of

A

5×105cm5 \times 10^{- 5}cm

B

5×108cm5 \times 10^{- 8}cm

C

5×105cm5 \times 10^{5}cm

D

5×108cm5 \times 10^{8}cm

Answer

5×105cm5 \times 10^{- 5}cm

Explanation

Solution

λ=vn;n50,000Hz\lambda = \frac{v}{n};n \approx 50,000Hz, v=330v = 330m/sec ⇒λ=33050000m\lambda = \frac{330}{50000}m

=6.6×105cm5×105cm= 6.6 \times 10^{- 5}cm \approx 5 \times 10^{- 5}cm
