A sound wave travels through the air and then into a brick wall. The wavelength of the sound wave in the air is 0.17 m. The table shows the speed of sound in each medium.
| Medium | Speed of sound in m s−1\text{m s}^{-1}m s−1 |
|---|---|
| Air | 340 |
| Brick | 3400 |
Calculate the wavelength of the sound wave in the brick.
