Solution:
- Recall the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength: Speed = Frequency x Wavelength (v = fλ)
- Rearrange the formula to solve for wavelength: Wavelength (λ) = Speed (v) / Frequency (f)
- Substitute the given values: λ = 340 m/s / 440 Hz
- Calculate the wavelength: λ ≈ 0.773 meters.
Answer: The wavelength of the sound produced is approximately 0.773 meters.
