Question 238990: The wavelength w, in meters per cycle, of a musical note is given by w= r/f where r is the speed of the sound in meters per second and f is the frequency in cycles per second. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/sec. What is the wavelength of a note whose frequency in air is 33 cycles per second? Round to the nearest tenth of a meter per cycle. thanks

----------------
w = 344/33 meters
w =~ 10.4 meters
----------------
PS wavelength is the length of a wave. For 33 Hertz, or cps, the wavelength of a cycle is 10.4 meters, saying meters per cycle is superfluous. It's meters.
