The distance between two successive nodes in a sound wave can be calculated using the formula:
Distance between nodes = (velocity of sound) / (frequency)
In this case, the velocity of sound is given as 300 m/s, and the frequency is given as 1000 Hz. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Distance between nodes = 300 m/s / 1000 Hz
To calculate the distance, we need to convert the frequency from Hz to cycles per second (cps) since the velocity of sound is given in meters per second. Since 1 Hz is equal to 1 cycle per second, the calculation becomes:
Distance between nodes = 300 m/s / 1000 cps
Simplifying the expression, we find:
Distance between nodes = 0.3 meters
Therefore, the distance between two successive nodes in the given sound wave is 0.3 meters.
