Answer:

98,280.8 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the wavelength formula.

s = λ f
Note: λ is the wavelength, s is the speed of sound, and f is the frequency.

We are given the speed of sound and the wavelength. Using those 2 values we can solve for the frequency.

But first we have to convert mm to m.


(1)/(1000)=(x)/(3.49)


x=0.00349

Now we have


343=0.00349f

Divide both sides by
0.00349


f=98,280.8
