  • Wavelength Calculation: Frequency & Wave Speed - A Simple Guide
    The wavelength of a wave is related to its frequency by the equation:

    $$\lambda = v/f$$

    Where:

    - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength (in meters)

    - \(v\) is the wave speed (in meters per second)

    - \(f\) is the frequency (in hertz)

    In this case, the wave has a frequency of 30Hz. Assuming the wave is traveling through air at room temperature (about 20°C), its velocity is approximately 343 meters per second.

    Plugging in these values, we get:

    $$\lambda = 343m/s / 30Hz = 11.43m$$

    Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is approximately 11.43 meters.
