    A sound wave with frequency \[256\text{ }Hz\]falls normally on a perfectly reflecting wall. The shortest distance from the wall at which the air particles will have maximum amplitude of vibrations is nearly ( velocity of sound in air is \[336\,m{{s}^{-1}}\])

    A)  \[32.8\,\,cm\]       

    B)  \[50\,\,cm\]

    C)  \[65.8\,\,cm\]       

    D)  \[25\,\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given,   \[f=256\,Hz\] \[{{v}_{sound}}=336\,m{{s}^{-1}}\] \[\lambda =\frac{v}{f}=\frac{336}{256}=1.3125m\] \[=131.25\,\,cm\] The distance between a node (N) and adjoining antinode \[=\frac{\lambda }{4}=\frac{131.25}{4}=32.8\,\,cm\] the shortest distance from the wall at which the air particles will have maximum amplitude of vibration is\[32.8\text{ }cm\].
