  1. A \(1000\)
  2. B \(1500\)
  3. C \(300\)
  4. D \(600\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1000\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{600 \text{ m}}{2 \text{ s}} = 300 \text{ m/s}\) \(\lambda = \frac{v}{f} = \frac{300 \text{ m/s}}{500 \text{ Hz}} = 0.6 \text{ m}\) \(n = \frac{d}{\lambda} = \frac{600 \text{ m}}{0.6 \text{ m}} = 1000\)
