In the sound wave produced by a vibrating turning fork shown in the diagram, half the wavelength is represented by:

(a) AB
(b) BD
(c) DE
(d) AE"

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

As we know wavelength is the distance between two successive troughs or crests. So BD is the wavelength the sound wave in the given diagram.

So, option (b) is correct.
