The A note has a frequency of 880 Hz. What is the wavelength if the speed of sound is 343 m/s?

Use v=f∆ where ∆ is lambda
So your v is 343 and your f is 880Hz so solve for lambda in metres because lambda represents wavelength. You can do that maths . 343÷880 is equal to lambda in meters

Answer : The wavelength of the sound is 0.389 m

Explanation :

Formula used :


\lambda=(c)/(\\u)

where,


\lambda = wavelength of sound = ?


\\u = frequency =
880Hz=880s^(-1)

c = speed of sound =
343m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:


\lambda=(343m/s)/(880s^(-1))


\lambda=0.389m

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound is 0.389 m
