A Saxophone is playing a steady note of frequency 210 Hz. The temperature in the room is 25 C. Suppose that, at some instant, the varying pressure at your eardrum is at a maximum. How far away (in meters) is the next pressure maximum?

If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate?

The speed of sound at 25 C = 343m/s

wavelength = speed of sound / frequency

wavelength = 343m/s / 210/s = 1.6m

Therefore, the distance of the next pressure maximum is 1.6m away from your ear drum.

Air pressure is greatest at or below sea level. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of air molecules pressing down on the surface as they are pulled by gravity.

In very deep mines, the air pressure can exceed twice that at sea level.

What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
