Sound Wavelength

Wavelength of Sound

Rearranging the wave equation ($v = flambda$) for wavelength:

lambda = rac{v}{f}

In air at 20 °C, $v = 343$ m/s. So for any audible frequency:

lambda = rac{343}{f}

Why It Matters

Wavelength governs diffraction: sound bends around obstacles whose size is comparable to $lambda$. Bass frequencies (long $lambda$) bend around walls; treble frequencies (short $lambda$) are more directional.

Your Task

Implement soundWavelength(f) returning the wavelength in metres ($v = 343$ m/s).
