This is a Ophysics lab, I have to find the fundamental frequency and wavelength, and the harmonic number of those recorded. Speed of air is 345 m/s. And then calculate the expected wavelingths.
Even if you can't answer this question, can you give me formulas and points in the right direction. I am desperate at this point.
Any help would be GREAT!
A uniform plane wave has the generic expression
Φ(z,t) = A cos(ωt – kz + δ)
with the following given parameter values: wave amplitude = 10, wave frequency in Hz f = 500 Hz, phase velocity vph = 10 m/s, and the phase angle δ = 60o. Find the values of the parameters A, ω, and k.
