(a) $\lambda = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{{340}}{{170}} = 2m,\,\,\,n' = \frac{{340}}{{340 - 17}} \times 170 \Rightarrow n' = 178.9Hz$
Now $\lambda ' = \frac{v}{{n'}} = \frac{{340}}{{178.9}} = 1.9$
==> $\lambda - \lambda ' = 2 - 1.9 = 0.1$
Now $\lambda ' = \frac{v}{{n'}} = \frac{{340}}{{178.9}} = 1.9$
==> $\lambda - \lambda ' = 2 - 1.9 = 0.1$
