Homework Equations


V = frequency x wavelength


The Attempt at a Solution


i can't even attempt it because i don't know how temperature affects sound.

From wikipedia
in air the speed of sound is given by
[tex]c_{\mathrm{air}} = 331{.}3 + (0{.}6 \cdot T) \ \mathrm{m \cdot s^{-1}}[/tex]

wher T is the temperature of the air in celsius
