Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (320 m/s) / (300 / sec)

Wavelength = (1 and 1/15) m/s

Answer:

1.07m

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength of a wave is the distance between two successive crest and trough of a wave. It can be expressed as the ratio of the speed of the wave (v) to its frequency (f)freq 300

Mathematically,

wavelength (¶) = speed of wave (v)/frequency (f)

Given speed = 320m/s and frequency = 300Hertz

Wavelength = 320/300

Wavelength = 1.07m

The wavelength of the wave is therefore 1.07m
