Homework Statement
A tuning fork with a frequency of 420 Hz emits sound with a wavelength of 0.82 m in air. If the temperature of the air increases, what will happen to the wavelength and why?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know temperature affects speed but I am not so sure how it affects wavelength.
Maybe:
When the temperature increases the speed will increase, therefore the wavelength will increase because the particles are spread apart? ( Just a thought)
Please explain, any help appreciated!
