Explanation Given Info: The speed of the sound wave is 340 m / s and frequency is 440 Hz . Write the expression for the speed of the sound wave. v = f λ Here, λ is the wavelength of the sound wave v is the speed of the sound wave f is the frequency of the sound wave Substitute 340 m / s for v and 440 Hz for f in the above expression to calculate λ
