<span>Speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel this distance. Velocity is the change in position divided by the time of travel. Velocity only depends on the starting and ending point but the speed depends on the path. Speed is a scalar quantity (the distance per time ratio) and velocity is a vector quantuty, because it is defined also with its direction.</span>

a female vocalist with a soprano voice can sing as high as 1000 hz. given that the speed of sound is 345 m/s what is the wavelen

Neporo4naja [7]

0.345 m.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The wavelength is the distance that the wave travels in each cycle. The wave travels 345 meters in each second. Let the wavelength of this wave be $\lambda$ . That's the distance the wave travels in one cycle.

The frequency of the sound wave is 1 000 Hz, meaning that there are 1 000 cycles in each second. The wave travels a distance of 1 000 wavelengths in one second. That would be a distance of $1,000\;\lambda$ .
