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 measure the wavelength of sound?

distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.


How do you calculate a wave's frequency?

You can calculate a wave's frequency by dividing the speed of the wave by its wavelength. The formula is: frequency = speed of wave / wavelength.


What is one way to measure a wavelength in sound?

One way to measure a wavelength in sound is to calculate it by dividing the speed of sound in air by the frequency of the sound wave. This will give you the distance between two consecutive points on the wave that are in phase with each other.


What is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 2.0m?

The period of a sound wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle. To find the period, we need to know the speed of sound in the medium the wave is traveling through. The formula to calculate the period is: period = wavelength / speed of sound.


If this wave travels at 16 cms it's wavelenght would be?

To calculate the wavelength, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. However, to calculate the wavelength, we need to know the frequency of the wave in addition to the speed. If you provide the frequency of the wave, we can calculate the wavelength.


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.


If a sound gets louder does the wavelength of the sound it produces increase?

No, the wavelength of a sound does not change when the intensity or loudness of the sound increases. The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the frequency of the sound, which is determined by the source of the sound.


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 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 wavelength?

Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)


How do you calculate the frequency of a wave?

Divided the wave's speed by its wavelength.
