A plane sound wave of frequency 85.5Hz and velocity 342ms

A plane sound wave of frequency 85.5Hz and velocity 342ms-1 is reflected from a vertical wall. At what distance from the wall does the wave have antinode?

A.

2m

B.

4m

C.

1m

D.

3m

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is C

If F = 85.5Hz, V = 342ms-1,
Then wavelength = V/F = 342/85.5 = 4m

Then if wavelength = 4m
=> wavelength/2 = 4/2 = 2m = NN,
Thus NA = wavelength/4 = 4/4 = 1m.
