That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.

The wavelength of sound can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of sound / frequency. If the speed of sound is approximately 343 m/s, then the wavelength of sound with a frequency of 880 Hz would be approximately 0.39 meters.
The second harmonic of a frequency of 440 Hz is 880 Hz. It is exactly twice the frequency of the original sound wave.
The number of beats that we hear per second is the beat frequency. It is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two notes. In this case: Beat frequency = 882 Hz - 880 Hz = 2 Hz. This means that we will hear the sound getting louder and softer 2 times per second.
The greater the number the higher the frequency. Zero frequency is called DC in electricity. Audio frequencies start at 20 Hz (Hertz= cycles per second) and go up to 20,000 Hz. Adults usually can't hear above 12,000 Hz so this is why the teenagers use a ring tone of 13,000 Hz while in school. The teachers can't hear it. Refer to kHz which is 1,000 Hz. There for 20 kHz is 20,000 Hz.
A minor third above A5 (880 Hz) is C#6, which is approximately 1108.73 Hz.
The frequency of A one octave higher is double the original frequency. For example, if the original A is 440 Hz, the A one octave higher would be 880 Hz.
