Wavelength to Sound Frequency Calculator

Calculate Sound Frequency from Wavelength



Formula

To calculate the frequency (f):

\[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \]

What is Sound Frequency?

The frequency of a sound wave is the number of vibrations or cycles per second. It is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave and directly proportional to the speed of sound in the medium. The frequency determines the pitch of the sound we hear.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ f = \frac{343}{1.6333} \approx 210 \text{ Hz} \]

The frequency is approximately 210 Hz.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ f = \frac{1481}{2.962} \approx 500 \text{ Hz} \]

The frequency is approximately 500 Hz.
