Understanding the Relationship
* Wavelength (λ): The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) of a wave.
* Speed of sound (v): How fast sound travels through a medium (like air).
* Frequency (f): The number of waves that pass a point per second (measured in Hertz, Hz).
The Formula
The relationship between these three is:
* v = fλ
Solving for Frequency
1. Rearrange the formula: f = v / λ
2. Plug in the values:
* v = 343.00 m/s
* λ = 0.77955 m
3. Calculate: f = 343.00 m/s / 0.77955 m = 440 Hz
Answer: The pitch of the note is 440 Hz. This is the standard frequency for the musical note "A" above middle C.
