Establish the relationship between the speed of sound, its wavelength, and frequency. If the velocity of sound in air is $340 \, m \, s^{-1}$, calculate:
$(i)$ The wavelength when the frequency is $256 \, Hz$.
$(ii)$ The frequency when the wavelength is $0.85 \, m$.

  • A
    $\lambda = 5.33 \, m, \nu = 200 \, Hz$
  • B
    $\lambda = 1.63 \, m, \nu = 300 \, Hz$
  • C
    $\lambda = 1.33 \, m, \nu = 400 \, Hz$
  • D
    $\lambda = 1.50 \, m, \nu = 500 \, Hz$
