Help with physics problem pleaseee?

Question

Male mosquitoes in the mood for mating find female mosquitoes of their own species by listening for the characteristic "buzzing" frequency of the female's wing beats. This frequency is about 620 wing beats per second.

A) How many wing beats occur in one minute?

B) How many cycles of oscillation does the radiation from a cesium-133 atom complete during one mosquito wing beat?

Answer 1

A) if it's 620 wing beats per second....isn't for one minute...it's just 620 x 60?

if not...then maybe it's much more complicated, with the whole velocity = wavelength x frequency

velocity being 340 m/s ...speed of sound in air

...and from there wavelength is worked out etc. but i highly doubt its the harder one...i think it's just 620 x 60

B) i can't do it :( sorry

Answer 2

( 620 beats / second ) ( 60 seconds / 1 minute ) = 37,200 beats / minute.

Cesium-133 has a frequency of 9,192,631,770 cycles / second. Divide that by 620 to get the answer to your second question.
