Finding Wavelength of mosquito wings

[zachcumer]

How do you find the wavelength of this: A mosquito flaps its wings 600 vibrations per second ( it is this motion that produces the annoying 600-Hz buzz). How far does the sound travel between wing beats? In other words, find the wavelength of the mosquito’s sound.

Thanks

Look up the speed of sound V. Then L=V/600.

$$v=frac{f}{lambda}$$

so is the wave length...

so I substituted and got 344=600*(n)...how do I do the rest confused...how do I rearrange the equation?

 

[zachcumer]

oh its .6 meters right?

oh

oh its .6 meters right?

$$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$$

So...

$$\lambda= \frac{344}{600}$$

Thanks Very Helpful!

Good to hear.
