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