how do i do this:
Reference is sometimes made to a singer's 'hitting high C.' What is the wavelength of this sound at 10 oC? (The frequency of high C, more precisely called C6, is 1047Hz.)
thanks so much!

The speed of sound is 337.5 m/s at 10 C. So, using the equation velocity = wavelength x frequency, the wavelength is (337.5 m/s) / (1047 Hz) = 0.3224 m

velocity is equal to frequency times wavelength. velocity is speed of sound (337m/s at room temp) and frequency is 1047Hz, so wavelength is 0.3219m
velocity is (331* square root of (temp in kelvin/273K)
Hope I've helped

Look up the velocity of sound at 10ºC. Use the formula L = V/F, where V = sound velocity and F = sound frequency.
