Understanding the Relationship
The speed of a wave (v), its frequency (f), and its wavelength (λ) are related by the following equation:
* v = fλ
Solving for Wavelength
1. Rearrange the equation: To find the wavelength (λ), we need to isolate it:
* λ = v / f
2. Plug in the values:
* λ = 345 m/s / 600 Hz
3. Calculate:
* λ = 0.575 meters
Answer: The wavelength of the wave is 0.575 meters.
