Very simple formula: speed of the wave = frequency x wavelength
This is applicable for both mechanical waves such as sound and electromagnetic waves such as visible light.
In case of sound the speed at room temperature would be almost 340 m/s.
Hence wavelength = 340/320 = (17/16) m

What is the wavelength of sound in the air at 20000 Hz?
1.716cm
If a sound has a wavelength of 2 meters What is its frequency?
the answer and not the equation is 171.5 hz
What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 30 hertz?
That depends on its speed, and therefore on the medium it happens to be in. -- In normal air at sea level, 30 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of about 37.5 feet. -- In copper, 30 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of about 506 feet. -- In diamond, 30 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of about 1,315 feet. -- In water, 30 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of about 160 feet.
If the wavelength of a 4.80 102 Hz sound in freshwater is 3.10 m what is the speed of sound in fresh water?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (480 Hz) x (3.1 m) = 1,488 meters/sec.(About 4.3 times the speed of sound in air !)
A sound wave traveling at a speed of 340.0 meters per second has a wavelength of 1.25 what is the frequency?
Answer: frequency = 272 Hz. Given the wave velocity (speed of sound) and wavelength, find the frequency of the wave. Velocity = 340.0 m/s, Wavelength = 1.25 m. Formulas: Velocity = wavelength * frequency. Frequency = velocity / wavelength. Calculation: Frequency = (340.0 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 272 Hz. (Where Hertz = cycles / second.)
What is the wavelength of sound in the air at 20000 Hz?

When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel a wWhat is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.2 meters and a frequency of 250 Hz?
When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel, a wavelength of 11.6 meters is measured. What is the velocity of the sound through steel
What is the speed of the wave if the frequency is 80 Hz and the wavelength is 4m?
The speed of any wave is the product of frequency x wavelength.
If a sound has a wavelength of 2 meters What is its frequency?
the answer and not the equation is 171.5 hz

If one tuning fork vibrates at 340 Hz and a second one vibrates at 640 Hz which fork sends out a longer wavelength?
Lower frequency equates to a longer wavelength, so the 340 Hz tuning fork would emit a longer wavelength sound.
If the wavelength of a 4.80 102 Hz sound in freshwater is 3.10 m what is the speed of sound in fresh water?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (480 Hz) x (3.1 m) = 1,488 meters/sec.(About 4.3 times the speed of sound in air !)

The speed of sound in water is 1430 ms Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Formula is velocity=frequency X wavelength so Wavelength = 5m
What is the wavelength of 75 Hz?
What is the wave length of 100 Hz? Answer You mean a sound wave in air. At a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit there is the speed of sound c = 343 meters per second. For a tone of f = 100 Hz the wavelength is lambda = c / f = 343 / 100 = 3.43 meters.The equation for the relationship between wavelength and frequency is X = frequency * wavelength, where X = the speed of the particle. For light, the wavelength of 100 Hz is 2.99 E8 cm, and for sound, the wavelength is 60 m.
What is the longest wavelength a human can hear?
Human beings can hear sound waves in the frequency range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz. So, the required shortest wavelength that human beings can hear is 20 Hz.
When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel a wavelength of 11.6 meters is measure what is the velocity of the sound through steel?
