Cicadas produce a buzzing sound that has a wavelength in air of 3.77 m. If the speed of sound in air is 440 m/s, then this is the frequency of the sound produced by a cicada.
What is 116.7 Hz?

The image shown is demonstrating SONAR technology to detect objects underwater is this wave behavior.
What is reflection?
100
As the wavelength of a wave increases, this is what happens to its frequency.
What is decreases?
100
In one second, three waves pass a given point. This is the wave's frequency.
What is 3 Hz?
