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.
A wavelength is how far apart a crest or trough is from another crest or trough. In a wave, there are many different characteristics, which include its amplitude and frequency. the amplitude is the distance between a wave's mid-point and it's crest or trough. Mathematically :   wavelength of sound wave = speed of the wave / frequency   where   wavelength is measured in meters   speed is measured meters/second   frequency is measured is Hz or second-1. 4 people found this useful.
