Speed Calculation of a Sound Wave

Very Hard Physics Waves And Sound

Consider a longitudinal wave traveling through a medium. This wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.68 m. Taking into account the properties of sound waves in a medium, what is the speed of this wave?

To find the speed of a wave, use the wave equation: v = f × λ, where v is the speed of sound in the medium, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.
