Answer:

0.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of sound, v = 330 m/s

The frequency of the note of the instrument, f = 1320 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the sound wave.

We know that,

Wavelength,
$\lambda=(v)/(f)$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=(330)/(1320)\\\\\lambda=0.25\ m$

So, the wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 0.25 m.
