An engineer uses an ultrasound transducer to scan a steel railway rail for internal flaws.
The speed of sound in steel is 5000 m/s.
The wavelength of the ultrasound wave is 25 mm.
Calculate the frequency of the ultrasound wave.
Use the equation:
v=f×λ v = f \times \lambda v=f×λWave properties and behaviour Questions
