In the curve (Fig.12.1) half the wavelength is
(a) A B
(b) B D
(c) D E
(d) A E
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
Explanation:-
Distance between two consecutive crests or consecutive troughs is equal to the wavelength of any sound. In the given figure, the separation between A and E will be equal to one wavelength.
- Therefore, half of the wavelength will be equal to AC, CE, or BD distance.
