You can find it the same way you would for most other waves, with the formula of

v=fλ

(velocity = frequency x wavelength)

Is the sound wave propagation in a medium determined by whether the sound is transverse or longitudinal?

Yes, the sound wave propagation in a medium is determined by whether the sound is longitudinal or transverse. Longitudinal waves travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the particles in the same direction as the wave's motion, while transverse waves travel by displacing particles perpendicular to the wave's motion.


Is a sound wave a transverse wave or longitudinal wave?

Sound waves are longitudinal.


What is the relationship between the speed of a longitudinal wave and the medium through which it travels?

The speed of a longitudinal wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it travels. Different mediums have different densities and elasticities, which affect how fast the wave can travel through them. In general, the speed of a longitudinal wave increases with the stiffness and density of the medium.
