Why cannot a sound be heard on the moon? How do astronauts talk to one another on the surface of moon?

What value has been given to the mass of this reference atom ?

Define the terms 'frequency', 'wavelength' and 'velocity' of a sound wave. What is the relation between them?

A body vibrating with a time-period of `1/256` s produces a sound wave which travels in air with a velocity of 350 m/s. Calculate the wavelength.
