Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

A stationary wave is formed having 3 nodes along the length of the string 90 cm. The wavelength of the wave is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 3 nodes on a string means 2 loops; each loop is λ/2\lambda/2.
  2. L=2×λ2=λL = 2 \times \dfrac{\lambda}{2} = \lambda.
  3. λ=90 cm\lambda = 90\text{ cm}.
  4. So the answer is (c) 90 cm90\text{ cm}.
