Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance from a node to its adjacent antinode in a pipe open at both ends (or in any standing wave) is equal to one-quarter of the wavelength (0.25λ). This is because a full wavelength (λ) consists of two nodes and two antinodes, making the distance between a node and its adjacent antinode λ/4.
