The correct answer is:
$10 \mathrm{cm}$
By using the relation, $v=v \lambda$
We have, $\quad \lambda=\frac{V}{v}=\frac{300}{500}=\frac{3}{5} \mathrm{m}$
The phase difference, $\phi=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(\Delta x)$ $\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi \times 5}{3}(\Delta x) \Rightarrow \Delta x=\frac{1}{10} m=10 \mathrm{cm}$
