A sound wave has a frequency of $500 ext{ Hz}$ and a wave speed of $340 ext{ m/s}$. Calculate its wavelength.

Q: A sound wave has a frequency of $500\text{ Hz}$ and a wave speed of $340\text{ m/s}$. Calculate its wavelength.

Given: Frequency of sound wave ($\nu$) = $500\text{ Hz}$ Speed of sound wave ($v$) = $340\text{ m/s}$ Formula: $$\text{Speed } (v) = \text{Frequency } (\nu) \times \text{Wavelength } (\lambda)$$ $$\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}$$ Calculation: $$\lambda = \frac{340}{500} = 0.68\text{ meters}$$ Answer: The wavelength of the sound wave is $0.68\text{ m}$.

Question

A sound wave has a frequency of $500	ext{ Hz}$ and a wave speed of $340	ext{ m/s}$. Calculate its wavelength.

Accepted Answer

Given: Frequency of sound wave ($
u$) = $500	ext{ Hz}$ Speed of sound wave ($v$) = $340	ext{ m/s}$ Formula: $$	ext{Speed } (v) = 	ext{Frequency } (
u) 	imes 	ext{Wavelength } (\lambda)$$ $$\lambda = \frac{v}{
u}$$ Calculation: $$\lambda = \frac{340}{500} = 0.68	ext{ meters}$$ Answer: The wavelength of the sound wave is $0.68	ext{ m}$.
