AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the separation between two consecutive compressions in a longitudinal wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength The speed of a wave (V) is related to its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) by the formula: \[ V = f \times \lambda \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values From the problem, we have: ...
