You can also calculate how long it takes sound to travel a given distance or how far sound will travel within a given time span. First select the Preset from the drop-down menu. Choose the velocity of the wave.
Calculate the speed of the waves using.
The unit Hz is short for hertz named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz 1857 94. Convert the wavelength to m then apply the equation c ln and solve for frequency. V is the wave speed in metres per second ms. Dividing both sides of the equation by l yields.
