    The equation for finding the frequency of a sound wave given speed and wavelength is:

    Speed = Wavelength * Frequency

    Therefore, by algebra;

    Frequency = Speed / Wavelenght

    The given values are:

    speed = 330 m/s

    wavelength = 0.1 m

    Therefore to solve for frequency:

    Frequency = (330 m/s) / 0.1 m = 3.3 kHz

    Therefore, the frequency of a sound wave at wavelength equals 0.1 m 3.3 kHz.
