velocity = wavelength x frequency
340 m/s = wavelength m x 520 sec-1
wavelength = 340 m/s / 520 m = 0.654 m x 100 cm/m = 65.4 cm

asked 01/15/22A musician is playing a song with various cups filled to different heights with water. She wants a particular glass to produce a sound wave of 520 Hz when struck. If the cup is 20.2 cm tall how high (in cm) should she fill it with water (the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s)?
