Given,

The frequency of the sound, f=40 Hz

The speed of the sound in the air, c=340 m/s

The speed of a wave in a medium is given by the product of the frequency and the wavelength of the wave.

Thus the speed of the sound with the given frequency is calculated using the formula,

$c=\lambda f$

Where λ is the wavelength of the wave.

On rearranging the above equation,

$\lambda=(c)/(f)$

On substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} \lambda=(340)/(40) \\ =8.5\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Thus the length of the wave or the wavelength of the given wave is 8.5 m
