Problem

A time–amplitude graph of a sound wave shows that two consecutive crests pass a microphone 0.0025 s0.0025\,\text{s} apart. If the speed of sound in air is 330 m ⁣ ⁣/ ⁣ ⁣s330\,\text{m}\!\!/\!\!\text{s}, find the wavelength of the wave. (a) 1.65 m1.65\text{ m} (b) 0.66 m0.66\text{ m} (c) 0.825 m0.825\text{ m} (d) 1.32 m1.32\text{ m}
