3.43m

That's 2.4× as high-pitched as a bass guitar’s low E, while concert A is 4.4× higher.

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 m

wavelength = speed of sound ÷ frequency; frequency = speed ÷ wavelength (343 m/s in air at 20 °C).

Example: 100 Hz = 3.43 m.

Wavelengths on this page are for air at 20 °C (343 m/s). Pick another medium above.
