Answer:

0.003333 s to 0.000125s or from 3.33ms to 0.125ms wher m is for milli

1.1m to 0.04125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

T= 1/f=

if f= 300Hz then T = 1/300 =0.003333 s

if f= 8000 then T= 1/8000 = 0.000125s

now v=f×wave length

or wavelength = speed/ frequency

when f = 300 Hz

wavelength = 330/300=1.1 m

wavelength = 330/8000 = 0.04125m

note : i have taken speed of sound as 330 m/s you can take any value given in between 330m/s to 340m/s
