  • A Maximum sound pressure ✔ ✖
  • B Speed of sound ✔ ✖
  • C Wavelength of the note ✔ ✖
  • D Number of nodes in the standing wave ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

In the standing wave equation F(A, L, n, c; x, t), the speed of sound (c) determines the frequency of the emitted note. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, which is calculated as λ = 4L/(2n - 1).
