"A 10m wire is hung from a high ceiling and held tightly below by a large mass. Standing waves are created in the wire by air currents that mass over the wire, setting it in motion. If the speed of the standing wave is 335 m/s and its frequency is 67 Hz, what is its wavelength?"
I know Wavelength= Velocity divided by Frequency, but the 10m wire is messing me up. Is that unneeded information to throw me off, or how do I put it into the equation to get a correct answer. I am thinking it is 335/67, but I'm not sure, and this is for a quiz grade.
If you could explain how to do it, that would be lovely. :]
Thanks
