Calculating Wavelength from Frequency and Speed

Hard Physics Waves And Sound

In a laboratory experiment, a sound wave is generated in a medium with a certain density and temperature. The speed of sound in this medium is measured to be 340 m/s. If the frequency of the sound wave is 680 Hz, what is the wavelength of the sound wave in this medium?

To solve this problem, you can use the wave equation, which relates the speed of sound (v), frequency (f), and wavelength (λ) as follows: v = f * λ.
