Re: [Phys-l] frequency and wavelength of sound in air

[curtis osterhoudt <flutzpah@yahoo.com>]

I very much like Brian's explanation, below:






======================================
Dressing this argument up for dramatic effect might have one tapping on 
a flexible diaphragm at one pulse per second. If there is water on the 
far side, it would feel one pulse per second too, no matter at what 
speed that pulse is transmitted.
( A concrete example is SO helpful, always....)
