Stationary waves are setup in an air column. If the velocity of sound in air is `330ms^-1` and frequency is 165 Hz, the distance between the nodes is

A

2 m

B

1 m

C

0.5 m

D

4 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Distance between nodes = `lambda/2`
`V=330ms^-1,f=165"Hz"`
`lambda=V/f=330/165=2m`
distance =`lambda/2=2/2=1m`
