What it means
How high is that sound?
λ = c ÷ f. The speed of sound in air rises about 0.6 m/s per °C; the medium picker sets it.
The math
How to convert Hz to cm
wavelength = speed of sound ÷ frequency; frequency = speed ÷ wavelength (343 m/s in air at 20 °C).
Example: 100 Hz = 343 cm.
Wavelengths on this page are for air at 20 °C (343 m/s). Pick another medium above.
