Physics
The velocities of sound in media P and Q are 300 meters/second and 350 meters/second respectively. If the difference in wavelength of the two waves in those media is 0.5 meters, what distance will the sound travel in 50 vibrations in the medium Q?
The first answer I got was 325 m. I think I've misunderstood ...

The answer you got is incorrect. To calculate the total distance a sound would travel in 50 vibrations in medium Q, you need to multiply the velocity of sound in the medium Q (350 m/s) by the wavelength (0.5 m) and then multiply that number by 50. So, the answer you are looking for is 175 m.
