Surfing For Physics Formulas For Waves?

Helen asks…Physics 11 - Wave Questions?I'm actually looking for the formulas for these questions.

What is the wavelength of a sound emitted by a tuning fork of frequency 440 vibrations per second? The speed of sound is 332 m/s at 0.0oC and increases at 0.60 m/s for each degree temperature rise. The tuning fork is at 32oC.

A thunder clap is heard 3.8s after a lightning flash is seen. If the T air = 33 degrees C, what is the distance to the flash?

Thanks.Nancy answers:Edit:
