Liam Roth · Answer 1

A wave equation is v=flambda. v is speed, f is frequency, lambda is wavelength. So, lambda = v/f. here that's 320/300 m/s. 3.2/3 1.07 metres is it?

Laurel Krueger · Answer 2

1. The wavelength is the ratio of the wave's speed to its frequency in hertz or 1/s. This is shown below,

λ = s / f = (320 m/s) / (300 1/s) = 1.07 m

The wavelength is approximately 1.07 m.
