Given :

The frequency of travelling sound = f = 282 Hz

The speed of travelling sound = c = 343 m/s

To Find :

The distance of waves crests

Solution :

∵ wavelength of sound wave =

i.e =

Or, =

∴ = 1.12 m

So, The wavelength of sound wave = = 1.21 m

Thus , The distance of waves crests =wavelength of sound wave = 1.21 m

Hence, The distance of waves crests is 1.21 meters Answer
