Physics

The first and second formants when you make an \"ee\" vowel soundare approximately 270 Hz and 2300 Hz . The speed of sound in yourvocal tract is approximately 350 m/s . If you breathe a mix ofoxygen and helium (as deep-sea divers often do), the speedincreases to 810m/s

With this mix of gases, what are the frequencies of the twoformants?

Wavelength will remain same, just medium has changed from air to mixture of gases (air & helium).

For first formant,

λ = v1/f1 = v2/f2 350/270= 810/ f = 625 Hz

For second formant,                                                                                                                                                    350/2300 = 810/f f = 5323 Hz
