(N/A) The relationship between the speed,frequency,and wavelength of a sound wave is defined by the wave equation:
$v = \lambda \times f$
Where:
$v$ represents the speed of the sound wave (measured in $m/s$),
$\lambda$ (lambda) represents the wavelength (measured in $m$),
$f$ represents the frequency (measured in $Hz$ or $s^{-1}$).
This equation indicates that the speed of a sound wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and its frequency. This fundamental relationship applies to all types of waves.
