v = fλ
V/f = λ (wavelength)
V = 340ms-1
340/f = λ
In short you need to know the frequency of the particular sound wave to work out it's wavelength. once you know that you plug it into the above equation and you will get the wavelength of the wave.

How do you calculate wavelength from wavenumber?
Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
How do you calculate the wavelength?
Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if the frequency of the wave increases?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How the wavelength of a sound wave changes if frequency of the wave increase?
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
How do you calculate the frequency of a wave?
Divided the wave's speed by its wavelength.
How does the wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of the sound wave through an open window?
The wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of a sound wave through an open window because the wavelength can determine how fast the diffraction is moving; therfore, causing the sound to be either lower or higher.I think :)
How do you calculate the wavelength of frequency?
Wavelength = (speed of the wave) divided by (frequency)
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
How do you calculate wave speed given the wavelength and the depth?
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) "Depth" (?) is not involved.
