Answer:

1.19m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the trumpet sound = 351m/s

Frequency of the note = 294Hz

Unknown:

Wavelength of the sound = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the wave - velocity equation.

V = F x ∧

V is the velocity of the body

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

So;

351 = 294 x ∧

∧ =
(351)/(294) = 1.19m
