Answer:2.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency=440hz

Velocity in air =343m/s

Velocity in water =1493m/s

Wavelength=velocity ➗ frequency

Wavelength in air=velocity in air ➗ frequency

Wavelength in air=343 ➗ 440

Wavelength in air=0.78m

Wavelength in water=velocity in water ➗ frequency

Wavelength in water=1493 ➗ 440

Wavelength in water=3.39m

Difference=3.39-0.78

Difference=2.61
