Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength of the sound corresponding to this upper range of audible hearing.

    Formula to solve for the wavelength: w = s/f

    w = wavelength

    s = speed

    f = frequency

    Solve using the given values.

    w = 345/20000

    w = 0.01725

    Round if necessary.

    0.0173

    Therefore, the wavelength is approximately 0.0173 meters.

    Best of Luck!

    Wavelength = speed / frequency

    (345 m/s) / (20,000 Hz) = 0.017 m
