Chapter 1, Problem 52PQ
Later in this book, you will learn that sound is a wave. The wavelength λ and frequency f of a wave are related by λf = v where v is the speed of the wave. Musicians refer to these different wavelengths or frequencies by their notes (A–G). Use the information in the following table to plot the frequency on the vertical axis and 1/λ on the horizontal axis. Give a conceptual Interpretation and numerical value of the slope on your graph.

There is a rule of thumb for estimating how far away a
thunderstorm is. After you see a flash of lighting, count
off the seconds until the thunder is heard. Divide the
number of seconds by five. The result gives the
approximate distance (in miles) to the thunderstorm.
Why does this rule work?
