Understanding the Relationship
The speed of a wave is directly related to its frequency and wavelength. The formula is:
* Speed (v) = Frequency (f) × Wavelength (λ)
Calculations
1. Frequency (f): 250 Hz
2. Wavelength (λ): 1.3 meters
3. Speed (v): 250 Hz × 1.3 meters = 325 meters per second (m/s)
Therefore, the speed of the sound waves is 325 m/s.
