The particle displacement of a travelling longitudinal wave is represented by $\xi = \xi(x, t)$. The midpoints of a compression zone and an adjacent rarefaction zone are represented by the letters $C$ and $R$. Which of the following is true?

The wavelength of sound in any gas depends upon

Assume that the displacement $(s)$ of air is proportional to the pressure difference $(\Delta p)$ created by a sound wave. Displacement $(s)$ further depends on the speed of sound $(v)$,density of air $(\rho)$,and the frequency $(f)$. If $\Delta p \approx 10 \, Pa$,$v \approx 300 \, m/s$,$\rho \approx 1 \, kg/m^3$,and $f \approx 1000 \, Hz$,then $s$ will be of the order of (take multiplicative constant to be $1$).

The frequency of a sound wave is $n$ and its velocity is $v$. If the frequency is increased to $4n$,the velocity of the wave will be
