Question

As you sing a pure steady note of frequency 550 Hz, there is a pressure wave traveling outwards from you (at the speed of sound, naturally). What is the wavelength of that sound wave? (Assume the temperature is 20 C, room temp) Compute your answer in meters, but do not enter units to CAPA, just input the number. For you to think about: Is this a high or low note? How does that wavelength compare with ordinary sizes of things like doors, people's heads, etc? What is the longest and shortest wavelength that you could produce by singing? If the temperature in the room was higher (but you sing the same pitch), (how) does the wavelength change
