The speed of sound varies depending on many factors including temperature, pressure, and humidity, but it is

typically found to be approximately 550 m/s. What is the frequency of a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.2 m?

Answer: Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:The equation for finding the frequency of a sound wave given speed and wavelength is:

Speed = Wavelength * Frequency

Therefore, by algebra;

Frequency = Speed / Wavelenght

The given values are:

speed = 330 m/s

wavelength = 0.1 m

Therefore to solve for frequency:

Frequency = (330 m/s) / 0.1 m = 3.3 kHz

Therefore, the frequency of a sound wave at wavelength equals 0.1 m 3.3 kHz.
