You hear a tone and recognized it to me 512 Hz and you know that the speed of sound
is 340 m/s at the surface of the earth. What is the wavelength of the sound?
Answer with three significant figures.

[tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex] where f is frequency measured in Hz, v is velocity of sound measured in m/s and [tex]\lambda[/tex] is wavelength measured in meters. Filling in our given info:

[tex]512=\frac{340}{\lambda}[/tex] and

[tex]\lambda=\frac{340}{512}[/tex] so

[tex]\lambda=.664 m[/tex] (That is the incorrect number of sig dig's by the way. It should only be 2 since the number 340 only has 2 sig dig's)
