Question

The distance between any two consecutive _____ is called the wavelength of a sound wave.

  1. Compressions
  2. Rarefactions
  3. Crests
  4. All of the above

hintHint:

2 consecutive crests or troughs (compression or rarefaction) are present in a propagating wave

The correct answer is: All of the above


    • The distance between two consecutive crests/compressions or troughs/rarefactions is called wavelength.
    • It is depend on the frequency of the propagating wave
