Wavelength vs Frequency

Sound Wavelength with Temperature

The speed of sound in air increases with temperature, which affects the wavelength.

Formulas

v_sound = 331.3 + 0.606 * T (in m/s, T in Celsius)

lambda = v_sound / f

Higher temperatures produce longer wavelengths at the same frequency.

Example Calculation

Concert A (440 Hz) at 20 degrees Celsius.

  1. 01v = 331.3 + 0.606 * 20 = 343.42 m/s
  2. 02lambda = 343.42 / 440
  3. 03lambda = 0.7805 m
