A sound wave travels at 340 meters per second. Determine how far from the source the wave has traveled after the 0.50 second.

The distance (d) traveled by the wave is the product of the sound wave speed (s) and the time (t) it traveled.

d = s x t

Substituting the known values,

d = (340 m/s) x (0.5 s) = 170 m

Therefore, the distance it traveled is 170 m.
