Establish the relationship between speed of sound, its wavelength and frequency. If velocity of sound in air is 340 ms-1, calculate 

(i) wavelength when frequency is 256 Hz.

(ii) frequency when wavelength is 0.85 m.

Ans. Derivation of formula υ = vλ 

(i) 340 = 256  λ

λ = 1.33 m

(ii) 340 = v (0.85)

v = 400 Hz
