Calculate the frequency of the wave. If you found the right value for the wavelength multiplying by the frequency should get you the wave speed you started with. The speed of the waves on the strings and the wavelength determine the frequency of the sound produced.
O cBT r g 7 where g is the ratio of specific heats BTis the isothermal bulk modulus r.
The wavelength of a sound frequency and the time it takes to travel a given distance is calculated based on the provided frequency and journey distance. If you are using a calculator make sure you have typed the numbers in correctly. The speed of sound in a given medium depends on the density and elasticity properties of that medium. This is faster than 331 meters per second which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.
