A sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz has a speed of $440 m s^{- 1}$ in a given medium. Find the wavelength of the sound.

Open in App

Solution

Given,
Velocity $V = 440 m / s$
Frequency $n = 220 H z$
Wavelength $λ = ?$
we have two equations
$V = λ \times n$
$440 = λ \times 220$
$λ = \frac{440}{220} = 2 m$
