Calculating Wavelength of an Oscillating Source
This can be calculated using the formula:
wavelength = speed / frequency
Thus, the wavelength = 330 m/s / (0.165 kHz * 1000 Hz/kHz) = 2000 m.
This means that each cycle of the wave will have a length of 2000 meters, indicating a long wavelength. This is in line with the fact that low frequencies tend to have longer wavelengths.
So, if you are ever lost at sea, just look out for a 2000 meter long wave with a frequency of 0.165 kHz and you'll know you've found the source of those pesky oscillations.
P.S. Jokes aside, it is important to note that this calculation assumes an idealized scenario where the wave travels in a medium with a constant velocity. In reality, the speed of the wave may vary depending on the properties of the medium. Therefore, this calculation should be seen as an estimate rather than an exact value.
