The speed of sound is a function of temperature. This is why we never know exactly what speed to use in the labs if we do not know the temperature. The relationship is the following: Speed of sound = (331.3 + 0.6T) m/sec, where T is the temperature in degrees C. At 27 C a flutist plays an "A", at 414 Hz. If the temperature goes up by 4 C and everything else remains the same (in other words the wavelength of the note), what is the new pitch?
