Question:
The distance between a node and the nearest antinode of a standing sound wave in air is 5.73 m. What is the frequency of this wave? (Use 343 m/s as the speed of sound in air.)
Wavelength:
When a wave travels in a medium, then the distance between the two adjacent nodes of the wave is equal to half of that wavelength of the wave. The distance between the node and antinode of a wave is always equal to half of the wavelength.
