Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

Two progressive waves are travelling towards each other with velocity 50 m/s50\text{ m/s} and frequency 200 Hz200\text{ Hz}. The distance between the two consecutive antinodes is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. λ=vn=50200=0.25 m\lambda = \frac{v}{n} = \frac{50}{200} = 0.25\text{ m}.
  2. Consecutive antinodes are λ2=0.125 m\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.125\text{ m} apart.
  3. So the answer is (a) 0.125 m0.125\text{ m}.
