speed of sound = V
wavelength = λ
frequency = v
the time period of a wave is represented by = T = 1/v
In time T, a distance of wave length v is covered
so the speed of sound = V = λ/T
or V = λv
wavelength = λ
frequency = v
the time period of a wave is represented by = T = 1/v
In time T, a distance of wave length v is covered
so the speed of sound = V = λ/T
or V = λv

The sound speed is the speed at which a sound wave moves across a medium. It is measured in "meters per second" (m/s).
Wavelength is defined as "distance between" two troughs or crests in a sound wave, it is measured in meters (m).
Frequency is the rate at which particles of a medium oscillate per second, as a sound wave passes through them, it is measured in hertz (Hz).
If, wavelength is the distance covered by a sound wave in one cycle
So, the velocity of sound would be:
However, frequency is "inversely proportional" to time; i.e.,
Therefore,
