Answer:
1428 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The frequency hear by a dolphin, f = 280 kHz
We need to find the speed of sound in water if a wave with this frequency has a wavelength of 0.51 cm.
The formula for the speed in terms of wavelength and frequency is given by :
[tex]v=f\lambda\\\\v=280\times 10^3\times 0.51\times 10^{-2}\\\\v=1428\ m/s[/tex]
So, the speed of sound in water is 1428 m/s.
