Answer:

The speed of sound in air at 5°C is approximately 331.4 m/s.

To find the wavelength of a sound wave, we can use the formula:

wavelength = speed of sound / frequency

wavelength = 331.4 / 651

wavelength = 0.509 meters (or 50.9 centimeters)

Therefore, the wavelength of a 651 Hz sound wave in air at 5 degrees Celsius is approximately 0.509 meters.
