Answer:
Sarah is right
Explanation:
This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.
A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.
In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero
consequently Sarah is right
Answer:
Explanation:
Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.
As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

The answer to the questions is;
In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)
The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4
Explanation:
For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point
When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound
The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ
Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
