Question:
medium
What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of \( 500 \, \text{Hz} \) in air? (Take the speed of sound in air as \( 340 \, \text{m/s} \))
Show Hint
Remember: The wavelength of a wave is given by \( \lambda = \frac{v}{f} \), where \( v \) is the speed and \( f \) is the frequency.
