Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The distance between consecutive compression or rarefaction is known as the sound wavelength. A wavelength in sound waves is the separation between two adjacent compressions or rarefactions. A transverse wave's wavelength is the separation between two adjacent crests or troughs. The number of vibrations that take place or the number of compressions and rarefactions that pass through a specific point in a second is referred to as the frequency of the sound wave. Therefore, the speed of the sound wave s can be expressed as s=λ×v
 Where λ is its wavelength and v is its frequency.
