Hi @Sace Ver:Sace Ver said:How many vibrations does it make when the sound produced travels 332m through air at temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.
After obtaining speed which as you said was 332m/s I'm not quite sure which formula to use next.Buzz Bloom said:Hi @Sace Ver:
I have some problems understand what the question means. The word "it" seems to be referring to the violin string, which makes no sense.
So, I am guessing the question intends to ask how many wavelengths of sound appear in the air between the violin and some target 332m away. You need to find the speed of sound in air at 0 degrees C. I suggest you should also assume sea level and standard atmospheric pressure. I assume that how to do that is in the textbook you are using. Can you then calculate the number of wavelengths given the frequency, speed, and distance?
Hope this helps.

Violin strings produce sound through vibrations. When the strings are plucked or bowed, they vibrate and produce sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and are perceived by our ears as sound.
The vibrations in violin strings are caused by the bow or fingers of the musician. When the bow is drawn across the strings, it causes the strings to vibrate. Similarly, when the fingers press down on the strings, it changes the length of the vibrating portion of the string and produces different frequencies.
Different violin strings produce different sounds because they are made of different materials and have different thicknesses. The material and thickness affect the tension and density of the string, which in turn affects the pitch, volume, and timbre of the sound produced.
The length of a violin string affects the pitch of the sound produced. When the length of the vibrating portion of the string is shortened, the pitch increases. This is why pressing down on the strings with the fingers produces different notes.
Violinists tune their strings by adjusting the tension of the string. This is typically done by turning the tuning pegs at the top of the violin. By tightening or loosening the strings, the tension and pitch can be adjusted to the desired note.
