It depends on the speed of sound considered for the situation, as sound can travel at different speeds depending on the temperature of the air, its density, composition, etc.
For all types of waves (sound waves included), the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave, divided by its frequency. So, if you consider the speed of sound to be 330 m/s, the wavelength in question would be equal to 330/50, or 6.6 meters. If you consider the speed to be 340 m/s, the wavelength would be 6.8 meters.

Why frequency of thunder is 50 hertz and frequency of whistle is 1000hertz?
It just is. Sound behaves like a wave, and the pitch of the sound affects the wavelength. And wavelength is directly related to the frequency. A high pitched sound has a a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.
If a wave has a wavelength of 10 mm and a frequency of 5.0 hertz what is the speed?
Wavelength= 10 mm. Frequency= 5.0 hertz. Speed= 50 mm/second (wavelength x frequency)
What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 20 meters?
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (50) x (20) = 1,000 meters.
How does increasing the wavelength by 50 percent affect the frequency of a wave on a rope?
it decrease the wave length
What is the wavelength of a wave with the speed of 50 m per sec and frequency of 100 Hz?
.5m

What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 20 meters?
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (50) x (20) = 1,000 meters.
Ham radio operators broadcast at a frequency of 50 Hz What is the wavelength of this radiation?
A Frequency of 50 Hertz has a Wavelength of 5.9958e+8 Centimeters 1.9671e+7 Feet 5.9958e+6 Meters
What is the period of a wave with a wave speed of 50 meters per second and a wavelength of 10 millimeters?
Frequency = speed/wavelengthPeriod = 1/frequency = wavelength/speed = 0.01/50 = 0.2 millisecond
What is the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 20 hertzthe lowest note you can hear as a sound?
The wavelength of a wave is the wave speed divided by the frequency, so you have to know the speed of the wave then divide it by the frquency. You will probably want to change thr frequency to just hz if the speed is m/s, or leave it as khz if the speed is in km/s.
What is the wavelength of a wave with a velocity of 50 ms and frequency of 5 hz?
10 m
What is the wavelength of a wave with velocity of 50 ms and a frequency of 5 Hz?
10 m
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 50 cm and a frequency of 4 KHz?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).

.5m
Is there a wavelength for electricity?
Sure, if it is AC (alternating current), you can calculate a wavelength. For example, in copper the speed is roughly 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum, that is, 200,000 km/sec.; electricity in our homes comes at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second; so (assuming the frequency of 50 cycles), that would give you a wavelength of 200,000 km/sec / 50 Hertz = 4000 km.Sure, if it is AC (alternating current), you can calculate a wavelength.
