Thesound waves have a frequency of
Explanation:
Simply put, frequency tells you how many repetions of a specific event you get per unit of time.
In this case, you know that the mosquito beats its wings 600 times per second.
If you take the event to take place when the mosquito beats its wings once, then you have 600 repetitions of that event per second.
Therefoe, the frequency of the resulting sound wave will be
#f = "600 beats"/"1 second" = "600 Hz"#
Here Hertz are the units used to express one cycle per second. In your case, one cycle represents 600 wing beats.
