What is the wavelength of a musical note with frequency 624 Hz?

The wavelength of a musical note is inversely proportional to its frequency. The formula to calculate the wavelength of a sound wave is:

$$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$$

where:

* λ is the wavelength in meters

* v is the speed of sound in meters per second

* f is the frequency of the sound wave in hertz

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 meters per second. So, the wavelength of a musical note with frequency 624 Hz is:

$$\lambda = \frac{343 \text{ m/s}}{624 \text{ Hz}} = 0.549 \text{ m}$$

Therefore, the wavelength of a musical note with frequency 624 Hz is approximately 0.549 meters.
