To calculate the wavelength of a wave, we can use the wave equation:

c = λ * f

where c is the speed of light or sound (depending on the context), λ (lambda) is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.

Assuming you are referring to sound waves, the speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second.

Given that the frequency is 1,000 Hz, we can substitute the values into the wave equation:

343 meters per second = λ * 1,000 Hz

Rearranging the equation to solve for the wavelength, we have:

λ = 343 meters per second / 1,000 Hz

λ = 0.343 meters

Therefore, the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 1,000 Hz is approximately 0.343 meters.
