Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

Consider the following statements about stationary waves.

A. The distance between two adjacent nodes or antinodes is equal to λ2(λ=\frac{\lambda}{2}(\lambda = wavelength of the wave)

B. A node is always formed at the open end of the open organ pipe.

Choose the correct option from the following.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. A: Adjacent nodes (or antinodes) are λ2\frac{\lambda}{2} apart: true.
  2. B: The open end of a pipe is always an antinode, not a node: false.
  3. So the answer is (c) only A is true.
