The wavelength (λ) times the frequency (f) is equal to the velocity. The speed of sound in air is roughly 340 meters per second. That number obviously depends on the temperature of the air, the percentage of humidity, and many other things.
If λf=v, then with some basic pre-pre-pre-algebra we can determine that λ=v/f.
So, time to plug in numbers. λ = 340/440. λ = .7727 meters, or more precisely, 17/22

How do you find the wavelength of a sound emitted by a tuning fork at 440 vibrations-second and the speed of sound is 332 m per s?
Wavelength = speed /frequency = 332/440 = 75.45 cm(rounded)
If one tuning fork vibrates at 340 Hz and a second one vibrates at 640 Hz which fork sends out a longer wavelength?
Lower frequency equates to a longer wavelength, so the 340 Hz tuning fork would emit a longer wavelength sound.
What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?
A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.
How many times per second does a tuning fork vibrate if it is producing a sound wave in helium gas with a frequency of 384Hz?
The frequency of a wave motion is the number of waves passing through a fixed position each second. Thus, the sound wave emitted from the tuning fork has a frequency of 384 Hz means that the fork is vibrating 384 times per second.

standard tuning

What is the waveleght of a tuningfork?
If it's vibrating in air, then the wavelength of the sound it produces is(343) divided by (the tuning fork's frequency) meters
How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?
The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.
What can you get when you combine quartz sound magnets and a tuning fork?
A tuning fork combined with a quartz sound magnet.
What happens to the pitch when the sound source moves away from you?
The pitch lowers as the wavelength of the sound increases. It's called the Doppler effect
The sound emitted by bats has a wavelength of 3.8 mm What is the sound's frequency in air?
3.8 mm = 0.0038 meter(340 meters per second) / (0.0038 meter) = 89,474 per second = 89,474 Hz. (rounded)

What sound has a short wavelength?
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
What determines the highness or lowness of a sound?
Its wavelength, or pitch. Sound is only vibrations in the air. If the wavelength of the vibration is low, then it will sound "high". If the vibration has a high wavelength, then it will sound "low".
What happens to the sound when you hit a tuning fork and put it in a cupboard?
The sound would be muted if a tuning fork is hit and then placed into a cupboard.
