Wavelength :- The distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions is known as the wavelength. Its SI unit is metre (m).
WAVELENGTH = SPEED OF SOUND/FREQUENCY OF SOUND
To find out the wave length, you can display it on an oscilloscope and measure it.
You can use a frequency counter and work out the length from the formula above.

You can convert frequency to wavelength using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s. So, if you know the frequency of the wave, you can calculate its corresponding wavelength by dividing the speed of light by the frequency.
Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of the medium.
c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees Celsius (68 dgrees Fahrenheit) or
c can be water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s.
c can be light waves or
c can be electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s.
The formulas are:
c = lambda x f
f = c / lambda
lambda = c / f
Wavelength times frequency equals the speed of light. So you can divide the speed of light, called "c", by the frequency in hertz to get the wavelength, or divide "c" by the wavelength to get the frequency.
Divide it into the speed of light at 300,000,000 metres per second.
To give the answer in Hertz (cycles/ second)
eg. A wavelength of 1500 metres
300,000,000 / 1500 = 200,000c/s or 200Kcs
A 3cm radar wave = 0.03m
300,000,000 / 0.03 = 10,000,000,000 Hz = 10Ghz
To convert wavelength to frequency, you can use the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. Simply divide this speed by the wavelength in meters to find the frequency in hertz.
To convert frequency to wavelength, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. Dividing this speed by the frequency in hertz will give you the corresponding wavelength in meters.
The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Given a wavelength of 566 nm (nanometers) and the speed of light in a vacuum (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s), you can convert the wavelength to meters and use the formula to find the frequency.
To find the frequency of a wavelength, you need to use the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Given the speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s, you can convert the wavelength to meters (310 mm = 0.31 m) and substitute into the formula to find the frequency.
Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.
