Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers generate. For example, suppose that a performer generates a 2093-Hz tone. If a large-amplitude standing wave is present, it is possible for a listener to move a distance of only 4.1 cm and hear the loudness of the tone change from loud to faint What does the distance of 4.1 cm represent? (a) One wavelength of the sound (b) One-half the wavelength of the sound (c) One-fourth the wavelength of the sound

There will be change heard in the sound when a person is standing at the antinode when a standing wave is being produced.
When a person is standing at the antinode, there is a fluctuation between the maximum and minimum of the amplitude of the wave.
Amplitude changes periodically with the time and hence the sound faints and becomes loud.
Result:
(c)
