  • Calculating Wavelength: A 340 Hz Sound Wave - Multiple Choice
    Here's how to solve this:

    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
