Surfing For Physics Formulas For Waves?

Sandra asks…PHYSICS HELP???? Confused on what formula to use?A sound wave of wavelength 0.601 m and
velocity 330 m/s is produced for 0.791 s.
What is the frequency of the wave?
Answer in units of HzNancy answers: = * so

frequency = velocity / wavelength = 330 / 0.601 = 549 Hz

How long the sound is produced for is not relevant to the question.Maria asks…can some please help me with this physics question/concept?The formula for the speed of a transverse waves on a spring is the same
