Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (340) / (20,000) = 0.017 meter = 1.7 centimeter

What is the wavelength of sound waves with frequency 510Hz while traveling in fresh water?
The speed of sound in fresh water is approx 1,500 metres per second. So wavelength = speed/frequency = 2.94 metres.
If a sound wave is traveling 2.5 meters and it takes 0.0073 seconds what is its frequency and wavelength?
There isn't enough information in this question. You can calculate the speed of the wave (distance divided by time), which is the frequency times the wavelength. But you still need one of them to find the other.
Sound travels at a speed of 7189 feet per second how many meters per second does sound travel in this medium?
2191.21 meters per second.
What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 6 hertz and a wavelength of 2 meters?
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (2 x 6) = 12 meters per second.That's the wave's speed. "Velocity" is something different, not just a wordto use when you mean "speed" but you want to sound more technical.
How fast is mach 500 in meters per second?
Mach 500 means 500 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound in air is somewhere around 350 meters/second. If you multiply that, you get approximately 175,000 meters/second, or 175 kilometers/second. Note that the speed of sound can vary, depending on several conditions.
The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
5 meters
What is the wavelength of a sound made by a violin string that has a frequency of 640 Hz if the sound is traveling at 350 meters per second?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)
The wavelength of a sound wave is 18 cm. The frequency of the wave is 1900 Hz. What is the speed of the sound wave?
Convert the wavelength to meters. Then simply multiply the frequency by the wavelength. The answer will be in meters/second.
The speed of sound is approximately 340 meters per second If a sound wave has a wavelength of 0.68 meters the frequency will be approximately?
500 hertz
What is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelenght of 102 meters and a frequency of 250hz?
speed = wavelength * frequency wavelength = 102 meters frequency = 250 Hz = 250 cycles/second 102 * 250 = 25500 meters/second
A sound wave traveling at a speed of 340.0 meters per second has a wavelength of 1.25 what is the frequency?
Answer: frequency = 272 Hz. Given the wave velocity (speed of sound) and wavelength, find the frequency of the wave. Velocity = 340.0 m/s, Wavelength = 1.25 m. Formulas: Velocity = wavelength * frequency. Frequency = velocity / wavelength. Calculation: Frequency = (340.0 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 272 Hz. (Where Hertz = cycles / second.)
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
If you have a frequency of 670 what is it wavelength?
Depends on what the speed of the wave is. The wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave divided by its frequency. For light in a vaccum, for instance, the speed is c, or about 3.00 x 10e8 meters/second. If the frequency was in Hertz (cycles/second), then the wavelength would be 448,000 meters. So, this probably is a light frequency. If it were the sound at sea level, the speed is 340 meters/second, so the resulting wavelength would be 0.507 meters. The sound would be nearly an "E".
The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second.Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Wavelength is found via WL = v/f. WL = 1430/286 = 5m
If Two waves are traveling in the same medium with a speed of 340ms What is the difference in frequency of the waves if the one has a wavelength fo 5m and the other has a wavelength of 0.2m?
For a wavelengt lambda in air with the speed of sound of c = 340 meters per second the frequency f: f = c / lambda. A wavelength of 5 meters equals a frequency of 68 Hz. A wavelength of 0.2 meters equals a frequency of 1700 Hz. There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".
What it the velocity of a sound wave with a frequency of 425 Hz and a wavelength of 0.75 m?
The speed is (frequency) x (wavelength) = 318.75 meters per second.
What is the wavelength of sound waves with frequency 510Hz while traveling in fresh water?
The speed of sound in fresh water is approx 1,500 metres per second. So wavelength = speed/frequency = 2.94 metres.
