Understanding the Relationship
The speed of sound, wavelength, and frequency are related by the following equation:
* Speed of Sound (v) = Wavelength (λ) × Frequency (f)
The Speed of Sound
The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s).
Calculation
1. Given:
* Wavelength (λ) = 0.1 meters
2. Solve for Frequency (f):
* f = v / λ
* f = 343 m/s / 0.1 m
* f = 3430 Hz
Answer
The frequency of a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.1 meters is 3430 Hz.
