Answer:

Frequency of sound wave = 198.83 hertz (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Velocity of sound wave in air = 340 m/s

Wavelength = 1.71 meter

Find:

Frequency of sound wave

Computation:

Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength

Frequency of sound wave = Velocity of sound wave in air / Wavelength

Frequency of sound wave = 340 / 1.71

Frequency of sound wave = 198.8304

Frequency of sound wave = 198.83 hertz (Approx.)
