Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between the speed of a wave (v), its frequency (f), and its wavelength (λ) is given by:
v = fλ
Solving for Frequency
1. Rearrange the formula to solve for frequency:
f = v / λ
2. Plug in the given values:
f = 341 m/s / 0.8 m
3. Calculate the frequency:
f = 426.25 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the sound wave is 426.25 Hz.
