Answer #1

For standing wave, maximum occur at anti-node point. Distance between one anti-node to next anti-node is half wavelength.

Here we do averaging ,

Distance between 1st and 2nd maxima is 5 unit, for 2nd and 3rd is 7,similarly we get 1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 1.4, 1.6

So the average distance is, 2.8

wavelength is (2*2.8)= 5.6 cm

microwave in cm
