Question

A sound wave travels through air. The wavelength of the sound wave is equal to the distance between _____ . A) adjacent crests B) adjacent troughs C) adjacent centers of air compression D) the source and observer of the wave A sound wave travels through air. The wavelength of the sound wave is equal to the distance between _____ . A) adjacent crests B) adjacent troughs C) adjacent centers of air compression D) the source and observer of the wave A) adjacent crests B) adjacent troughs C) adjacent centers of air compression D) the source and observer of the wave

Explanation / Answer

Option c

because sound is a pressure wave.so wavelength will be distance between adjacent

Centers of of air compression or rarefaction.This is true for all longitudinal waves.

While option a and b are trur for transverse waves.

i hope this helps.feel free to ask me any related queries if any rate.and rate me. Thanks
