Understanding the Relationship
* Speed of sound (v): This is the speed at which sound waves travel through a medium.
* Frequency (f): This is the number of sound wave cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
* Wavelength (λ): This is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.
The relationship between these is:
v = fλ
Solving the Problem
We know:
* f = 340 Hz
* v = 340 m/s (assuming the speed of sound in air)
We can rearrange the equation to solve for wavelength:
λ = v / f
λ = 340 m/s / 340 Hz = 1 m
Answer:
The correct answer is D. 1m
