The wave phenomenon known as "destructive interference".
What are the choices? hydro relates to water, power, and furnishing water
Answer : Option C) Detective Smiley scanned the dim hallway. He pulled his pistol from its holster.
Explanation : Amongst the given other choices there seems to be no relationship between two consecutive sentences. The only sentence which seemed to have a connection between previous and later sentence was option C. Where it is clearly stated that the detective named as Smiley was walking through the hallway which was dimly lit. The second sentence has a co-relation to the previous one as it extends the sentence. Detective smiley then pulled out his pistol from his holster after walking through the hallway.
This confirms that the correct answer for this question is Option C.
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)
so in order to answer this question, we need the speed of sound.
Without using my precious time to go look it up, I'm guessing that
the speed of sound at STP is roughly 343 m/s .
If that estimate is accurate, then
Wavelength = (343 m/s) / (440 /s) = 0.78 meter .
Choice-#2 is much closer to this result than any of the others,
so choice-2 must be it.
Actually, we can 'reverse engineer' Choice-#2 and find the number
it uses for the speed of sound.
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
= (0.75 m) x (440 /s) = 330 m/s .
The author of the question used 330 m/s for the speed of sound.
