The wavelengths of audible sound.?

The basic formula is velocity equals frequency times wavelength. The low frequency limit of sound is 20 Hz, thus the wavelength is given by velocity divided by frequency (344 / 20 = 17.2 meters). The high frequency limit of audible sound is 20,000 Hz. By the same procedure, 344 / 20,000 = 0.0172 meters.
