    2.72 m

    Explanation:

    Sound travels at a certain speed and has a frequency and wavelength. The relationship between the speed of sound (V), its frequency (f), and wavelength (λ) is the same as for all waves, it is given by the equation:

    V = fλ

    The speed of sound in air (V) is 334 m/s

    Frequency of sound (f) = 123 Hz

    Wavelength = λ

    V = fλ

    λ = V/f = 334/123

    λ = 2.72 m
