The wavelength of a sound wave refers to the distance between two consecutive points in a sound wave that are in the same phase, such as from one peak to the next or from one trough to the next. It is denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ) and is typically measured in meters (m).
The wavelength of a sound wave depends on the speed of sound in the medium through which it travels and the frequency of the wave. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second. The frequency of a sound wave refers to the number of complete oscillations or cycles it completes per second and is measured in hertz (Hz).
The relationship between the wavelength (λ), speed of sound (v), and frequency (f) is given by the formula:
λ = v / f
Therefore, if you know the speed of sound in a particular medium and the frequency of a sound wave, you can calculate the wavelength using this formula.
