Answer:

0.584m

Step-by-step explanation:

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crest and trough of a wave.

Given that the speed (v) of a wave is the product of the frequency (f) of the wave and its wavelength (¶)

i.e v = f¶ where;

¶ = v/f

Given v = 343m/s (velocity of sound in air which is a constant value)

f = 587.33Hz

¶ = 343/587.33

¶ = 0.584m

The wavelength of the wave in meters is 0.584m
