A sound wave has a frequency of 265 hz and a wavelength measured at 1.3

m. the speed of the wave is 344.5 m/s.
how long will it take the wave to travel the length of a football field, which
is 91.4 m?

Answer:

V = f λ speed of wave in terms of frequency and wavelength

t = S / V time for wave to travel a distance S

t = 91.4 m / 344.5 m/s = .265 sec time to travel 91.4 m
