Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\(v = f\lambda\)
\(v = 2f \times (l_{2} - l_{1})\)
\(v = 2 \times 600 \times(0.413 - 0.130)\)
\(v = 1200 \times 0.283\)
\(v = 339.6ms^{-1}\)
\(v = f\lambda\)
\(v = 2f \times (l_{2} - l_{1})\)
\(v = 2 \times 600 \times(0.413 - 0.130)\)
\(v = 1200 \times 0.283\)
\(v = 339.6ms^{-1}\)
