The range of audible frequencies is from about 20.0Hz to 2.00×104Hz . What is range of the wavelengths of audible sound in air?
min and max in units of m
min and max in units of m

λ = u/f
λmin = 340/2E4 = 0.017 m
λmax = 340/20 = 17 m
λmin = 340/2E4 = 0.017 m
λmax = 340/20 = 17 m

Wavelength = (velocity/ frequency), where velocity is the figure you use as speed of sound, in metres/ sec., and frequency in Hz.
A common one is 343m/sec.
