In the sound wave that is traveling from the guitar string to your ears, what is the distance between adjacent condensations? (For the speed of sound in air use the value, at 20 degrees Celsius, from the inside front cover of your textbook.)

Answer:
52.5cm
Explanation:
First determine the wavelength of sound wave in air
. i.e
λ= velocity/frequency
where,
velocity ‘v’ is 343 m/s
frequency 327 hz
λ= 343/327
λ = 1.049 m
=> 104.9cm
next is to determine the distance between adjacent condensations by taking half of the wavelength which we have found above.
= 1/2 x wavelength
= 1/2 x 104.9
= 52.5 cm
therefore, the distance between adjacent condensations is 52.5cm
