Question

What is the wavelength of a 320 Hz sound traveling 330 m/s?

Answer 1

Approximately `1.03` meters.

Explanation:

Wavelength is given by the equation:

`lambda=v/f`

where:

• `lambda` is the wavelength in meters

• `f` is the frequency in hertz

• `v` is the velocity in meters per second

So, we have here:

`lambda=(330 \ "m/s")/(320 \ "Hz")`

`~~1.03 \ "m"`
