Question:
A sound wave of wavelength {eq}0.808 \ m {/eq} and velocity {eq}333 \ m / s {/eq} is produced for {eq}0.616 \ s {/eq}. What is the frequency of the wave?
Wave Frequency Formula
Different types of energy are carried by waves that propagate through space. These waves are typically described by their respective wavelength {eq}\begin{align*} \lambda \end{align*} {/eq} and frequency {eq}\begin{align*} f \end{align*} {/eq}. Such details allow one to calculate the speed of the wave {eq}\begin{align*} v \end{align*} {/eq} given by the formula
$$\begin{align*} v=\lambda f \end{align*} $$
