A certain sound has a frequency of 256 hertz and a wavelength of 1.3 m.
1) Calculate the speed with which this sound travels
2) What difference would be felt by a listener between the above sound and another sound traveling at the same speed, but of wavelength 2.6 m?
The displacement distance graph of two sound waves A and B, travelling in a medium, are as shown in the diagram below.

Study the two sound waves and compare their:
