Ultrasound equipment used in the medical profession uses sound waves of a frequency above the range of human hearing. If the frequency of the sound produced by the ultrasound machine is f=30kHz,f = 30 \text{kHz}, what is the wavelength of the ultrasound in bone, if the speed of sound in bone is v=3000m/s?v = 3000 \text{m}/\text{s}?
