Answer

a) frequency increases by a factor of 2 b) 1.07

Work Step by Step

(a) As we know that $f\propto T$ $\implies \frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{20}{40}=\frac{1}{2}$ Thus the final frequency is twice the initial frequency. (b) As $T_1=273.15+20=293.15K$ and $T_2=273.15+40=313.15K$ Now $\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{f_2}{f_1}=\frac{313.15}{293.15}=1.07$
