For any wave situation,

Frequency = (wavespeed) / (wavelength) .

Frequency of the whistle = (340 meters per second) / (1.7meters) =

200 per second = 200 Hz .

(1 Hz = 1 per second)

What is the frequency of a ship's whistle if the velocity of sound is 340 meters/second and the wavelength is 1.70 meters?
