Detailed Solution

Here, sound waves fall normally on a perfectly reflecting wall, hence the incident and reflected wave will form the stationary wave=form, since there is no displacement of particles at wall hence this point is node.
As the separation between two nodes is  λ2m  the antinode i.e the point of displacement of particles is at a distance.
λ22=λ4m  from wall.
Now, we know
λ=vm 
 λ=330660............(given)
  λ=12m
Hence, the distance of anti-node from wall is  14×12=18m
Therefore the shortest distance from the wall at which the air particle has maximum amplitude of vibration (ant0-node)is 18m  i.e 0.125m
