Wavelength
Denoted by the Greek lower-case lambda symbol (l), the distance between one peak or crest of a sine wave and the next corresponding peak or crest. The wavelength of any frequency may be found by dividing the speed of sound (approximately 1100 feet (or 34 meters) per second at sea level) by the frequency. Thus the wavelength of a 60hz sine wave would be approximately 18.3 feet. Knowing wavelengths of sounds is very important when designing or working with acoustic spaces such as studios, control rooms, and speaker enclosures.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
Michael Erin Woody, Brentwood, TN
