Hypernyms (to revolve is one way to...): turn (move around an axis or a center) Troponyms (each of the following is one way to revolve): drive in; screw (cause to penetrate, as with a circular motion) screw (turn like a screw)
In air at normal atmosphere at 0 oC the speed of sound is 331.2 m/s. The wavelength of a 500 Hz tone can be calculated as. Î» = (331.2 m/s) / (500 Hz). = 0.662 m.
The lowercase version of the Greek letter lambda (Î») is the standard symbol used to represent wavelength in physics and mathematics. The letter v represents velocity and Æ represents frequency.herefore, the wavelength of an A4 sound wave at 68Â° F is 343 m/s / 440 hz, which equals 0.7795 meters, or 77.95 cm. Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio waves and light waves, have much shorter wavelengths than sound waves.
