A tuning fork of frequency
512
Hz
512\,\text{Hz}
512
Hz
produces a sound wave that travels through air at
340
m/s
340\,\text{m/s}
340
m/s
. The same sound enters helium where its speed is
970
m/s
970\,\text{m/s}
970
m/s
while the frequency remains the same. Calculate the wavelength of the sound in helium.
