Solution
The correct option is C0.5m As we can see from the image, the distance between two antinodes, which is also equal to the distance between two antinodes is half the wavelength. The distance traveled by a wave in half time period is half a wavelength. Hence the distance traveled equal to the distance between consecutive antinodes is 0.5m
