cicadas produce a sound that has a frequency of 123 Hz. what is the wavelength of this sound in the air? the speed of sound in air is 334 m/s.

Answer: 2.72 metres

Explanation:

Given that:

frequency of sound F = 123 Hz. wavelength of sound in the air = ?

speed of sound in air V = 334 m/s

Recall that wavelength is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply V = F λ

λ = V / F

λ = 334m/s / 123Hz

λ = 2.72m

Thus, the wavelength of this sound in the air is 2.72 metres
