The wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 0.333 m. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

<h3>What are frequency and wavelength?</h3>

The frequency of the wave can be defined as the number of oscillations that occur in one second and can be expressed in hertz. The wavelength can be defined as the distance between the two adjacent points of a wave such as two crests or troughs.

The relationship between frequency (ν), speed of sound waves (V), and wavelength (λ):

V = νλ

Given, the frequency of the sound wave, ν = 10 Hz

The speed of the sound wave, $V = 340 m/s$
