Wavelength Calculation of Sound Waves

Easy Physics Waves And Sound

A sound wave travels through a medium, creating oscillations of particles. Imagine sound waves emitting from a speaker, generating a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air. If these sound waves have a frequency of 440 Hz (Hertz), what is the wavelength of these sound waves in air, assuming the speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second?
